Leiden Wapen (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the iconic Leiden wapen, the official heraldic emblem of the Dutch city of Leiden. The design is a bold representation of the city's rich history and unwavering commitment to liberty.

The Escutcheon: The Foundation of the Emblem

The central element of the design is the silver (white) shield, or escutcheon, which acts as the foundation for the entire composition. This simple, elegant background provides a striking contrast for the vibrant imagery placed upon it.

The Keys of Saint Peter: A Symbol of Faith

Two prominent red keys, crossed in an "X" shape (saltire), are the defining feature on the shield. These keys are a direct reference to Saint Peter, a figure central to Christian tradition. They represent the "keys to Heaven," a powerful symbol of faith and spiritual authority, reflecting Leiden's connection to its main church, Pieterskerk, dedicated to Saint Peter.

The Lion of Liberty: Courage and Defense

In the more elaborate versions of the coat of arms, a red lion, a symbol of courage, is seen standing on a fortress wall. It holds a raised sword in its right paw, representing the city's fight for freedom and defense against oppression. The lion's left paw rests on the shield with the keys, a display of strength and protection.

A Legacy of Freedom: The Meaning Behind the Design

The combined elements of the design – the keys, the lion, and the historical context – speak volumes about Leiden. They express that the city values and defends freedom.

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.
