HMS Karlstad Vapen Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms, or "vapen," of HMS Karlstad, a Visby-class corvette in the Swedish Navy. The design is a proud representation of the ship's connection to the city of Karlstad in Sweden.

Visual Elements and Symbolism

The central design element is a silver (argent) shield, which acts as the backdrop for the striking imagery. Dominating the field is the right half of a blue eagle ("hÀlften av en blÄ örn"), its wing outstretched. The eagle's beak and claws are vividly rendered in red (gules), providing a bold contrast to the blue and silver.

The eagle is placed between two towering red (gules) structures, likely representing Karlstad's city status. These towers are characterized by pointed roofs, adding to the visual dynamism of the design. Crowning the shield is a royal crown ("kunglig krona"), symbolizing the ship's allegiance to the Swedish Crown.

Origin and Meaning

The design is directly inspired by the municipal coat of arms of Karlstad. The eagle motif is derived from the provincial arms of VĂ€rmland, the region where Karlstad is located. The inclusion of the eagle and towers, along with the royal crown, creates a symbolic link between the ship, the city, and the nation.

This intricately designed coat of arms is a powerful visual expression of identity, connection, and pride.

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.
