The Catholic University of America Shot Glass: Design Overview

A Symbol of Faith and Learning

This shot glass features the distinguished coat of arms, the primary visual identifier of The Catholic University of America. The design is rich in symbolism, reflecting the university's core values and heritage.

The Shield: A Quartered Design

The central element is a shield, quartered by a prominent red and white cross. This cross, represented with red and white stripes, signifies the Catholic faith, with the red stripes symbolizing the Precious Blood of Christ and the white stripes representing Christ's innocence. This bold division of the shield immediately establishes a connection to the university’s religious foundation.

Heraldic Colors and US Allusion

The background field of the shield is divided into blue and white, colors that not only reflect the heraldic colors of Mary, the patroness, but also subtly reference the national colors of the United States. This clever combination acknowledges both the Catholic faith and the university’s location within the United States of America.

The Immaculate Conception and the Book of Knowledge

The upper-left quarter contains a silver (white) crescent moon against a blue background, representing the Immaculate Conception, the patroness of the United States in Catholic tradition. Overlaid upon the cross is an open book, its pages bearing the Latin motto "Deus Lux Mea Est" ("God is my light"). This signifies the university's commitment to learning and the belief that God is the source of all truth.

A Design of Heritage

This coat of arms, designed by Pierre de Chaignon la Rose, is a testament to the university's enduring values. The visual elements work together to create a powerful symbol of faith, scholarship, and tradition.

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.
