Küsnacht (Switzerland) Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the heraldic emblem of Küsnacht, Switzerland, a design rich in history and visual symbolism. The core of the artwork features a vibrant red field, the backdrop against which the central element is displayed.

The Golden Cushion

Dominating the composition is a striking golden, or yellow, square cushion, positioned diagonally across the red field. This distinctive placement creates a dynamic and eye-catching arrangement. The cushion is adorned with delicate tassels at each of its four corners, adding an element of elegance and detail to the design.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design is a clever example of "canting arms," where the imagery alludes to the town's name. The gold cushion, or "Kissen" in German, is a visual pun playing on "Küsnacht," which is derived from an old German word for "pillow." Therefore, the cushion serves as a direct symbol for the town itself. The red and gold color palette, while not explicitly described for their meaning here, are common heraldic colors representing qualities such as bravery and generosity (red) and nobility and honor (gold).

Historical Context

The design, officially adopted in its current form in 1933, hearkens back to a long history. Its use can be traced back to 1497. Its elegant simplicity makes this a striking and meaningful design.

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.
