Imperial College London (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms of Imperial College London, a powerful visual representation of its academic and national identity.

The Shield: A Quartered Legacy

The central element is the shield, meticulously divided into four quadrants. The top left quarter proudly displays a red cross on a silver field, a direct nod to the City of London. Opposite, in the top right, a golden lion, crowned and "passant guardant" (walking and looking forward), reigns supreme against a red backdrop, signifying England's strength and heraldic prominence.

The bottom left quarter introduces a crowned dragon, a powerful symbol often associated with Wales, adding a layer of symbolic complexity and strength to the design. Completing the quartet, the bottom right quarter features a book, a direct representation of learning, scholarship, and the pursuit of knowledge – the core mission of the institution.

Supporting Elements and Crest

Flanking the shield are symbolic figures that often embellish the design, further enriching the heraldic narrative. Above the shield, the crest – frequently a crown or an emblem of enlightenment, such as a torch – reinforces the theme of intellectual pursuit and scholarly achievement.

A Statement in Color

The design adheres to the traditional heraldic color palette: red, gold, silver (or white), and black. These colors are chosen to convey strength, wisdom, prestige, and a sense of enduring tradition.

Motto and Meaning

While not a direct visual element, the Latin motto, "Scientia imperii decus et tutamen," ("Knowledge is the adornment and protection of the Empire"), is the guiding principle of the College. The coat of arms visually embodies this, combining academic symbols with national symbols to reflect Imperial College London's unique role within the United Kingdom.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
