Maasmechelen Coat of Arms - Visual Description

This shot glass showcases the intricate coat of arms of Maasmechelen, a municipality in Belgian Limburg. The design is a bold display of heraldic elements, meticulously quartered to tell a story of the region's rich history.

Detailed Design Elements

The coat of arms is divided into four distinct quadrants, each brimming with symbolic significance:

  • Top-Left: A golden (Or) crozier stands proudly against a red (Gules) backdrop. This represents the historical influence of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège over Opgrimbie and Vucht.
  • Top-Right: A silver (Argent) five-pointed star shines brightly on a red (Gules) field. It symbolizes the connection of Mechelen-aan-de-Maas to the Chapter of Saint Servatius in Maastricht.
  • Bottom-Left: A half black (Sable) imperial eagle is rendered on a golden (Or) background, signifying the imperial free lordships of Eisden, Leut, Boorsem, and Uikhoven.
  • Bottom-Right: A golden (Or) half eagle against a red (Gules) ground further reinforces the imperial status of the area.

Symbolism and Meaning

The visual elements are not merely decorative; they are deeply symbolic representations of Maasmechelen's heritage. The design encapsulates:

  • The Crozier: Representing religious and feudal ties to the powerful Prince-Bishopric of Liège.
  • The Star: Symbolizing the ecclesiastical connections to the Chapter of Saint Servatius.
  • The Imperial Eagle: A powerful symbol denoting the region's autonomy and its historical status as an imperial free lordship.

Crowning the entire shield is a golden (Or) markiezenkroon (marquis crown), further emphasizing the noble and prestigious character of Maasmechelen.

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.
