HMS Halmstad Vapen (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass

This shot glass showcases the distinctive coat of arms (vapen) of the HMS Halmstad, a Swedish Navy vessel, directly inspired by the city arms of Halmstad, Sweden. The design is a vibrant representation of heraldic tradition and local identity.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The central design is dominated by a blue field, or "azure" in heraldic terms. This common background color in civic heraldry symbolizes loyalty and, given Halmstad's coastal location, potentially represents the sea. Across this blue field is a silver (or white) horizontal stripe known as a "fess," which divides the shield.

The most striking element is the fess's charge: three red hearts (gules) each crowned with a gold crown (or). The hearts themselves are a memorable and uncommon heraldic motif, though their specific historical meaning is not definitively known. The golden crowns atop the hearts add a touch of regality.

As a naval vessel's coat of arms, the design also includes a royal crown. This addition reflects the ship's connection to the Swedish Navy and the monarchy, a traditional heraldic practice in Sweden.

Visual Impact

The overall aesthetic is a harmonious blend of color and symbolism. The blue and silver create a classic backdrop that accentuates the vibrant red and gold of the hearts and crowns, making the design visually striking and memorable. The design clearly ties the vessel to its namesake city, Halmstad, embodying a sense of local pride and historical significance.

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.
