Hemiksem Wapen 2 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the coat of arms, or Wapen 2, of Hemiksem, a municipality in Belgium. The design centers around a vibrant heraldic composition, reflecting the town's rich history and official status.

Visual Elements & Symbolism

The central element of the design is the shield. The background is a field of azure (blue), representing the significant Scheldt River that flows nearby. Across the shield, a wavy argent (silver) fess cuts horizontally, visually mirroring the flow of the river and further solidifying the connection to its waterway.

The fess is embellished with three strategically placed merlettes sable (black birds). These birds are a direct reference to the historical connection with the Cistercian monks of St. Bernard's Abbey, established in 1246, who played a significant role in Hemiksem's development.

Completing the design are two prominent gules (red) bars positioned above and below the wavy fess. These represent historical and local connections within the community, adding layers of meaning to the heraldic composition.

Municipal Authority

A distinguishing feature of Wapen 2 is the potential inclusion of a mural crown above the shield. This crown, when present, signifies the official municipal authority of Hemiksem. The overall design maintains the core symbolism of the traditional coat of arms (Wapen 1) but emphasizes the town's official status and identity. Modifications to the shield shape or the addition of supporters may also be present, modernizing the ancient heraldic depiction.

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.
