Gy-coat of arms alt (Switzerland) (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historic coat of arms of Gy, a municipality nestled in the Swiss canton of Geneva. The design is a direct representation of the municipality's official emblem, a symbol rich in historical significance.

Visual Elements and Symbolism

The central element of the design is a golden sheaf of wheat, prominently displayed against a vibrant blue shield. The wheat sheaf, rendered in meticulous detail, signifies abundance, harvest, and the agricultural heritage of the region.

The blue shield itself provides a contrasting backdrop, enhancing the golden wheat and adding a touch of elegance to the overall composition. The color blue often represents loyalty, truth, and vigilance. The shield shape is a classic heraldic form, grounding the design in the traditions of European heraldry.

Historical Context

The design is deeply rooted in history, drawing its inspiration from the family coat of arms of Pierre d'Airebaudouze, a prominent figure associated with the early Protestant church in the Geneva countryside. The wheat sheaf is therefore a subtle but powerful reminder of the area's religious and historical past. The coat of arms was officially adopted in 1924, and approved by the cantonal government in the same year, solidifying its place as a symbol of Gy.

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.
