The Catholic University of America Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate Coat of Arms, a powerful symbol of The Catholic University of America. The design is a miniature reproduction of the university's heraldic shield, a visual tapestry rich in religious and academic symbolism.

The Shield's Foundation

The shield itself is "quarterly azure and argent," meaning it is divided into four alternating sections of blue and white. These colors, along with the red accents, are key elements of the design, each conveying a specific meaning within the context of Christian tradition.

The Central Cross

Over the shield lies a striking cross, rendered in the colors of white and red. The white stripes symbolize the innocence of Christ, while the red stripes represent His Precious Blood. This cross is a fundamental emblem of Christian faith and forms the visual heart of the design.

The Immaculate Conception and the Book of Learning

In the top left quarter, a silver crescent moon is depicted, a heraldic representation of the Immaculate Conception, honoring Mary, the patroness of the United States. At the center of the shield, an open book displays the motto "DEUS LUX MEA EST," meaning "God is my light". This symbolizes the university's mission of learning guided by faith.

A Legacy of Design

The Coat of Arms, originally designed in 1935 by heraldic artist Pierre de Chaignon la Rose, is a testament to the enduring values and history of The Catholic University of America. Every element contributes to a cohesive design, creating a visual expression of faith, knowledge, and American heritage.

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.
