Hoogkarspel Wapen Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historic coat of arms, or 'wapen', of Hoogkarspel, a former municipality in the Netherlands. The design is a striking example of heraldic simplicity, rooted in the village's history from 1816 until its merger in 1979.

Visual Elements

The central element of the design is the shield, which forms the backdrop. It is rendered in a vibrant red (gules) hue, providing a bold foundation for the main charge. Upon this field, a silver (or gray) horse is prominently displayed. The horse is depicted in a walking or standing pose, facing towards the right (heraldic dexter), adding a sense of movement and direction to the composition.

Symbolism and Interpretation

The precise symbolism of the horse in the Hoogkarspel wapen is not definitively known, as the origin of the arms is undocumented. However, the presence of a horse traditionally suggests themes of strength, speed, and nobility. It could also potentially allude to local legends or the economic and social characteristics of the area during the time the coat of arms was adopted.

The simple yet elegant design of the Hoogkarspel coat of arms makes for a distinguished and visually impactful piece of artwork.

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.
