Kilkenny County Crest Shot Glass - Design Details

This shot glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms of County Kilkenny, Ireland, a design deeply rooted in the county's heritage. The artwork meticulously replicates the heraldic emblem, offering a miniature representation of Kilkenny's rich past.

Shield Elements

The primary visual element is the shield, its background adorned with the classic ermine pattern. This pattern, a field of white punctuated by black spots, symbolizes nobility and pays homage to the influential Butler family, prominent landowners throughout Kilkenny's history.

A central horizontal band, the fess, divides the shield into two distinct sections. On the dexter (left) side of the fess, three silver sheaves of wheat, known as garbs, are displayed against a black background. These represent Dermot MacMorrough, the King of Leinster, and his historical connection to the region.

The sinister (right) side is divided into four quarters. The first and fourth quarters feature a silver field with a red fret, a geometric knot-like design, associated with the Den or de la Denn family and Grennan Castle. The second and third quarters are solid red, possibly a nod to the Butler family.

Symbolism and Heritage

The overall design is a powerful symbol, a fusion of Gaelic and Norman influences that shaped the history of County Kilkenny. The ermine background and the presence of the Butler family's association highlights the profound historical roots. The contrasting elements of the design, from the sheaves of wheat to the fret, create a captivating visual narrative of Kilkenny's enduring cultural legacy.

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.
