King of Greece Arms (Denmark) Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass showcases a meticulously detailed representation of the Royal Coat of Arms of Greece as used during the reign of the Glücksburg dynasty, reflecting the Danish heritage of King George I.

Heraldic Elements and Their Meaning

The central element is a shield, heavily influenced by the greater coat of arms of Denmark (1819–1903). The design is a rich tapestry of heraldic symbols. Dominating the composition are the three crowned lions representing the kingdom of Denmark itself. Flanking them, various other emblems provide further context: the two lions of Schleswig, the nettle leaf of Holstein, the horse's head of Lauenburg, the two red bars of the House of Oldenburg, and the yellow cross of Delmenhorst. These elements together symbolize the diverse territories and dynastic connections tied to the Greek monarchy via its Danish roots.

Visual Framing and Symbolism

The shield is crowned with the royal crown, signifying the monarchical authority. Supporting the shield are figures of Heracles, a detail reminiscent of the "wild men" found in the Danish arms, adding a visual flair that links the two cultures. Beneath, the motto "Ἰσχύς μου ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ λαοῦ" ("The people's love is my strength") is prominently displayed, reflecting a key value and the bond between the monarch and the people.

Design Context and Significance

The design serves as a potent visual statement of dynastic connection. The incorporation of Danish heraldic elements into the Greek royal arms represents the close ties between the two royal families. The intricate nature of the artwork offers a fascinating window into the shared symbols and international connections characteristic of European monarchies during this era.

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.
