Greater Coat of Arms of Dunkerque 1917 (France) Shot Glass

This shot glass showcases the intricate and historically significant Greater Coat of Arms of Dunkerque, France, as it appeared in 1917. The design is a vibrant testament to the city's heritage, maritime importance, and unwavering bravery.

Shield: A Divided Legacy

The central element is the shield, divided horizontally. The upper half, a golden (Or) field, proudly displays a black lion walking (lion passant sable), its claws and tongue a striking red (armed & langued gules). This powerful lion is a nod to Dunkerque's historic ties to Flanders. The lower half of the shield features a silver (Argent) field, graced by a blue dolphin (naiant azure) with red fins, crest, and tail. This dolphin symbolizes Dunkerque's deep connection to the sea, reflecting its major port and rich maritime heritage.

Decorations of Honor

Below the shield, the design incorporates a collection of medals, each a symbol of the city's valor and service. These honors include the Legion of Honour, the Croix de Guerre with Palms (awarded for both 1917 and 1945), and the Distinguished Service Cross (an American decoration), reflecting the recognition Dunkerque received from both French and Allied forces for its wartime contributions.

Supporting Elements

A knight's helmet, or full armor, supports the shield, signifying martial valor. The design is further embellished with decorative scrolls, potentially bearing the city's mottos, including "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"), underscoring the city's heroism and unwavering spirit.

A Visual Tapestry

In summary, the design presented on this shot glass is a richly detailed emblem. It weaves together local history with the Flemish lion, maritime identity with the dolphin, and military honors through the medals and mottos. This is a powerful and evocative piece of visual art that speaks volumes about Dunkerque's remarkable history and character.

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.
