Hensbroek (Netherlands) Coat of Arms Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass showcases the whimsical and iconic coat of arms of Hensbroek, a village in North Holland, Netherlands. The design is a playful representation of the village's name, offering a unique and memorable visual element.

Emblematic Design

The artwork centers around the official blazon, featuring a vibrant red shield. Within this field, a silver hen is prominently depicted, perched atop a pair of golden breeches. The hen, rendered in argent (silver), provides a stark contrast to the vivid red background, while the golden breeches, or (or), add a touch of regality to the comical scene.

Symbolism and Meaning

This design is a prime example of a canting arms. This visual pun plays directly on the village's name. In Dutch, "hen" translates to "chicken," and "broek" means "pants" or "breeches." Therefore, the image humorously combines these elements, presenting a chicken seated upon a pair of pants. This clever arrangement establishes an immediate connection to the village's identity and heritage.

Historical Echo

The coat of arms, officially granted in 1817, reflects Hensbroek's history as a distinct municipality. This design serves as a lasting reminder of the village's unique character and its connection to the cultural identity of the region.

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.
