Hertford College Oxford Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished Coat of Arms of Hertford College, Oxford, a symbol steeped in history and meaning. The design features a bold heraldic emblem designed to reflect the college's heritage and values. The central element is the shield, the heart of the design, which is split vertically into halves of silver (argent) and red (gules), setting the stage for the powerful imagery to come.

The Elements: A Deep Dive

Across the shield, a black chevron (chevron sable) boldly spans, symbolizing protection and a strong foundation – a testament to the college's enduring principles. This element highlights the importance of building a robust basis for knowledge and community. Upon this chevron are the true focal points – three golden griffins (griffins passant or). These mythical creatures, blending the lion's strength with the eagle's vigilance, embody courage, watchfulness, and the pursuit of excellence. Their golden hue represents generosity and further elevates the design.

Symbolism in Color and Form

The careful selection of colors adds further depth to the design. The silver, representing sincerity, merges with the red that signifies warrior-like qualities. The black chevron stands for constancy, while the gold of the griffins, offers generosity. Together, these elements combine to produce a visual that celebrates the college's legacy of strength, valor, and the unwavering pursuit of knowledge, as expressed by its motto: "Murus Atra Rerum – A Black Wall of Things". The design communicates the college's enduring values through symbolic imagery.

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

They’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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
