HMS Capella Vapen (Sweden) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate coat of arms of HMS Capella (T123), a Swedish Navy torpedo boat. The design, a testament to heraldic tradition, is rich in symbolism and historical context.

Visual Elements

The central element of the design is a blue shield. Upon this field, the constellation Auriga, represented as a silver charioteer, dominates the scene. The charioteer is depicted seated, his right hand raised holding a whip.

In the charioteer's left arm, a black goat is embraced. Notably, the goat is "charged with" or bears a five-pointed golden star, a key element in the design's narrative.

Crowning the shield is a royal crown, a visual cue signifying the coat of arms' official status within the Swedish Navy.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design is deeply rooted in astronomical and linguistic wordplay. The figure of the Charioteer directly references the constellation Auriga, creating a celestial link to the night sky.

The goat and the golden star are a visual pun and are the most significant elements. The name "Capella" comes from the Latin word meaning "little goat," this element alludes to the star Capella, the brightest star within Auriga, which is the ship’s namesake. The goat, coupled with the star, delivers this subtle reference.

The Royal crown emphasizes that this is a recognized naval emblem, reflecting the ship's place within the Swedish Monarchy and its Armed Forces.

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.
