Grandes Armes de la Ville de Dunkerque 4 Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass showcases the Grandes Armes de la Ville de Dunkerque, the official coat of arms of Dunkirk, France. The design is a vibrant representation of the city's rich history and enduring spirit.

Shield Composition

The primary visual element is the heraldic shield, divided horizontally into two distinct sections. The top half, or "chief," features a golden background, on which a black lion passant (walking) is proudly displayed. The lion's claws and tongue are a striking red, a detail that signifies strength and courage.

The bottom half, or "base," presents a silver/white background. Here, a blue dolphin lies horizontally, its crest and ear rendered in red. This dolphin symbolizes the city's maritime heritage, particularly its historic fishing industry, but also a connection to the French monarchy.

Additional Elements

Below the shield, the design incorporates scrolls bearing two mottos: "Dunkerque a bien mérité de la Patrie" ("Dunkirk has well deserved of the Fatherland") and "Ville héroïque, sert d'exemple à toute la Nation" ("Heroic city, serves as an example to the whole Nation"). These mottos highlight Dunkirk's valor and dedication during wartime.

Beneath the shield are several medals, each representing prestigious honors awarded to the city, including the Knight’s Cross of the LĂ©gion d’Honneur, the Croix de Guerre with Palms, and the Distinguished Service Cross, reflecting Dunkirk's sacrifices and significant role in major conflicts like WWI and WWII.

Symbolism

The overall design is deeply symbolic. The lion represents strength and Dunkirk's historical ties to the Flanders region. The dolphin embodies the city's maritime legacy, connecting it to the fishing industry and honoring the French monarchy. The scrolls and medals serve as testaments to the city's bravery and its vital importance to the nation.

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.
