Helgum Vapen (Sweden) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historic coat of arms of Helgum, a former rural municipality in Sweden. The design is a faithful representation of the official vapen used from 1943 to 1970, offering a glimpse into the region's heritage.

Visual Elements and Their Meaning

The primary visual element is a shield, rendered in a deep azure (blue) field, providing the backdrop for the other components. A striking silver (argent) wavy horizontal bar, or "fess," elegantly divides the shield.

Above this wavy bar, the design features a silver chalice, flanked on either side by silver Greek crosses. The chalice likely symbolizes the area's rich ecclesiastical history and spiritual heritage, possibly referencing a local church or saint. The Greek crosses further reinforce this religious connection, representing Christianity.

Below the wavy bar, a silver triple-mount, also known as "tre berg" (three hills), completes the composition. This element is a common heraldic device and most likely reflects the local terrain, perhaps the hills and landscapes characteristic of Helgum.

The overall aesthetic is a combination of bold, symbolic elements that create a rich and historically significant visual experience. The use of silver against the blue background provides a classic heraldic contrast, making each element of the design readily identifiable.

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.
