Illnau-Effretikon - Bietenholz Coat of Arms Shot Glass

Design Overview

This shot glass showcases the heraldic design of Bietenholz, a hamlet within the municipality of Illnau-Effretikon in Switzerland. The artwork is a faithful representation of the official coat of arms, designed in 1986 by heraldic artist Hans Kläui.

Visual Elements and Symbolism

The core of the design is a vibrant red shield (Gules), symbolizing strength and valor. Dominating the shield are two green fir trees (Vert), positioned upright. These trees are "eradicated," meaning their roots are visible, emphasizing their connection to the earth.

At the base of the design, a silver (Argent) element completes the composition. This represents a base upon which a cross patty is displayed, reflecting the Christian heritage of the region.

Meaning and Interpretation

The imagery is rich in meaning. The fir trees directly reference the forested landscape of the Bietenholz region, and alludes to the origin of the hamlet's name, which relates to a border forest. The silver base and cross add further layers of significance, referencing the area's history.

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.
