Grandes Armes de la Ville de Dunkerque 3 (France) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the Grandes Armes de la Ville de Dunkerque 3, the official heraldic emblem of the historic French city of Dunkirk. The design is a powerful statement of the city's identity, heritage, and valor, packed into a captivating visual composition.

Shield Composition

The centerpiece is the shield, "coupé" – horizontally divided. The top half, or "chef," features a striking gold field emblazoned with a black lion passant, the Lion of Flanders, with red claws and tongue. This represents Dunkirk's historical ties to the Flemish region. The bottom half, or "pointe," presents a white field graced by a blue dolphin "couché," or lying down. This emblem, adopted in 1662, is an homage to the Dauphin, the son of Louis XIV, with red crest and fins, it is a maritime symbol, reflecting the city's connection to the sea.

Surrounding Elements

The shield is further enriched by the presence of a knight in armor. Decorative mantlings flow gracefully around the shield, adding visual depth and embellishment.

Inscriptions and Decorations

The design incorporates inscriptions that celebrate Dunkirk's patriotic achievements. The phrase "Dunkerque a bien mérité de la Patrie" ("Dunkirk has well deserved the Fatherland") is a testament to the city’s bravery during a siege. The second inscription, "Ville héroïque, sert d'exemple à toute la Nation" ("Heroic city, serves as an example to the whole Nation"), highlights the city's heroic spirit during the World Wars. Beneath the shield, several medals are displayed, including the Legion of Honour, the Croix de Guerre, and the Distinguished Service Cross. These awards reflect Dunkirk’s courage and recognition from both French and Allied nations.

Overall Symbolism

The overall design masterfully combines historical, regional, and military symbolism. The Flemish lion, the maritime dolphin, and the honors for bravery are all interwoven to create a richly decorated coat of arms that encapsulates the unique identity and celebrated history of Dunkirk. This shot glass carries a powerful visual narrative, making it a unique and meaningful design.

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.
