Grandes Armes de la Ville de Dunkerque-1919 (France) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate Grandes Armes de la Ville de Dunkerque, the great coat of arms of Dunkirk, France, as it appeared in 1919. The design is a vibrant and historically rich representation, packed with symbolism and meaning.

The Shield: A Divided Emblem

The design's centerpiece is the shield, "coupé" – divided horizontally into two distinct sections. The upper half, a field of gold (or), proudly displays the black Lion of Flanders (sable), a powerful symbol of Dunkirk’s historic ties to the Flanders region. This majestic beast strides across the top, anchoring the design in heritage.

The lower half, on a silver/white (argent) background, features a couchant dolphin in blue (azure). This dolphin, originally a fish symbolizing Dunkirk's fishing industry, was transformed in 1662 to honor the Dauphin, the heir to the French throne. The dolphin is rendered with a striking red (gueules) crest and ears, adding a further detail to this striking visual.

Honors and Support

The 1919 version includes several medals, reflecting the city’s valor. Included are the Knight's Cross of the Legion of Honor, two Croix de Guerre with Palms, and the Distinguished Service Cross.

The shield is supported by a marine-armored figure, a sailor/knight. This figure embodies the city's maritime heritage and stands ready to defend the values Dunkirk holds dear. This striking figure completes the visual, making a powerful impression.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
