Groninger stadswapen 1556 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a striking design inspired by the Groninger stadswapen from 1556, a heraldic emblem rich with history and symbolism. The artwork on this glass captures the essence of this historical coat of arms, offering a miniature representation of its powerful imagery.

Imperial Authority

The centerpiece of the design is a majestic black double-headed eagle, emblazoned against a radiant golden field. This eagle, a prominent symbol of the Holy Roman Empire, speaks volumes about Groningen's historical status as a free imperial city, highlighting its autonomy and prestige during the mid-16th century.

City of Groningen Element

At the eagle's heart, a silver escutcheon holds a vibrant green fess, or horizontal stripe. This distinctive element is a crucial component of Groningen's heraldry, immediately identifying the city. It serves as a visual marker of local identity, contrasting with the imperial symbolism of the eagle and emphasizing the unique character of Groningen.

Historical Representation

This design is a stylized interpretation of the original 1556 coat of arms, a symbol of civic pride and historical heritage. The artist, drawing on this historical source, has brought to life the bold visual elements of the Groningen emblem, allowing one to appreciate the layered meaning of its creation.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
