HMS Kaparen Vapen (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms (vapen) of the Swedish Navy patrol boat, HMS Kaparen (P159). The design is a striking representation of naval history and heraldic tradition.

Visual Elements

The design prominently features a silver/white (argent) shield, the backdrop for the central emblem. Diagonally across the shield is a bold red boarding-axe (änterbila), placed "in bend," drawing the eye with its dynamic presentation. Above the shield, a regal royal crown signifies the ship's allegiance to the Swedish Navy.

Meaning and Symbolism

The boarding-axe, a historical naval weapon, symbolizes boarding action, aggression, and readiness for close combat. The red color (gules) of the axe denotes strength, warrior spirit, and courage. The silver/white field (argent) represents peace, sincerity, and purity. The royal crown signifies the ship's belonging to the Swedish Navy under royal patronage, a common element in Swedish naval heraldry.

Together, these elements create a design rich in historical significance and symbolic meaning, capturing the spirit of HMS Kaparen and the tradition of the Swedish Navy.

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.
