Greater Coat of Arms of Brussels 1730 - Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate and historically significant design of the Greater Coat of Arms of Brussels, as it appeared in 1730. This emblem, a symbol of civic pride and heritage, is brought to life with vibrant colors and precise detail.

Central Design: The Shield

The heart of the design features a red (gules) shield, emblazoned with a powerful scene. At the center, the Archangel Michael, patron saint of Brussels, is depicted in triumphant action, slaying a demon (or devil) beneath him. The contrast between the figure of Michael, symbolizing virtue and protection, and the dark demon, representing evil, immediately conveys the city's spiritual guardianship and its victory over adversity.

Flanking Supporters and Banners

On either side of the shield, two golden lions stand as proud supporters, embodying strength, vigilance, and the protection of the city. These majestic creatures hold aloft banners that further enrich the design. One banner bears the heraldic lion of Brabant, a black lion on a gold field, echoing the historical ties to the region. The other banner mirrors the city's own arms, showcasing the Archangel and demon on a red field, reinforcing the central theme of protection and virtue.

Base and Crown

The entire composition rests on a green (sinople) mount, symbolizing a grassy hill, anchoring the emblem and adding a touch of natural elegance. Above the shield, a count's coronet (a noble crown) adorns the design, reflecting the city’s historical importance and civic standing.

Overall Symbolism

The overall design is a powerful display of symbolism. The Archangel Michael represents virtue triumphing over evil and the city's spiritual patronage. The lions represent strength and protection. The inclusion of Brabant's lion signifies historical regional connections. The complete design tells a story of the city's identity, values, and its role as a protector of its people.

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.
