Kuusamo.vaakuna (Finland) Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass showcases the striking coat of arms of Kuusamo, a municipality nestled in the northeastern reaches of Finland. The design, a testament to the region's natural splendor and cultural legacy, offers a visually compelling representation on its surface.

Key Visual Elements

The central design is a vibrant illustration of the Kuusamo coat of arms, a symbol rich with meaning. The imagery is anchored by a shield in a deep red color, the visual foundation for the other elements. A graceful, silver-colored reindeer in a running pose is positioned prominently, a tribute to the area's abundant wildlife and the historical significance of reindeer herding in the local economy and culture.

Symbolism and Representation

The design's symbolism is layered. The red shield, or 'gules', signifies the dynamic character and vibrant spirit of Kuusamo. The reindeer, in 'argent' (silver), is a powerful emblem of the region's wildlife, acknowledging the importance of reindeer herding as both a cultural practice and economic driver. Above the reindeer, a 'golden' representation of the aurora borealis, the iconic northern lights, creates a dramatic backdrop. This striking element underscores Kuusamo's location within the Arctic Circle and the area's appeal as a destination for nature enthusiasts.

The overall composition, created by heraldic artists Kaj and Terttu Kajander, beautifully encapsulates the essence of Kuusamo, offering a captivating visual narrative on the shot glass.

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.
