HMS Arkö Vapen Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinctive heraldic coat of arms, or "vapen," of the HMS Arkö, a minesweeper in the Swedish Navy. The design is a striking visual representation of the vessel's identity and heritage.

The Shield

The central element is a shield, divided horizontally by a wavy line, reminiscent of the sea. The upper portion of the shield is silver (argent), while the lower portion is blue (azure). This color scheme likely symbolizes the sea itself, linking the vessel directly to its environment.

The Charges: Eels a'swim!

Upon this foundation, four eels are arranged vertically in pairs. The eels are counterchanged, meaning their colors are reversed to create a visually dynamic effect. Two are blue against the silver background, and two are silver against the blue background. These eels likely allude to the ship's name, as Swedish heraldry often uses puns or local relevance to create a personalized crest.

The Royal Crown

Crowning the shield is a royal crown, a clear indication that this coat of arms is officially sanctioned. It signifies that the design has been granted under royal or state authority, a common practice in Swedish military heraldry.

Symbolism

The overall design reflects the naval nature of the HMS Arkö. The wavy division and the eels representing its origin provide a unique and meaningful representation of the ship, steeped in history and official recognition.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — 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 (≈44.3 ml) — 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 — 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 — 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 (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
