Grey College Durham (England) (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished Coat of Arms of Grey College, a constituent college of Durham University, England. The design centers around a powerful heraldic emblem steeped in history and regional significance.

Visual Elements & Symbolism

The primary visual feature is the shield, rendered in a bold crimson (Gules) background. Across this field, a silver (Argent) scaling ladder, or "gré," is positioned diagonally, running from the top left to the bottom right. This element represents the Grey family, from which the college derives its name.

Completing the design are two prominent crosses of St Cuthbert, depicted in red (Gules). These crosses are strategically placed, one in the top left and the other in the bottom right, anchoring the design and representing Grey College's deep connection to the historical region of Durham.

Meaning and Representation

The overall composition is a clear and direct representation of Grey College's identity. The scaling ladder conveys the college's link to its namesake, while the St Cuthbert's crosses firmly root the college within the heritage of Durham. The design is a testament to the college's history and its place within the broader context of Durham University.

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.
