Malle wapen2 (Belgium) Coat of Arms - Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate heraldic design of the "Malle wapen2," the official coat of arms of the Belgian municipality of Malle. The design is a quartered shield with a central escutcheon, offering a rich tapestry of symbolic elements.

The Shield's Quarters

The shield is divided into four quarters, each contributing to the historical narrative of the area. Quarters 1 and 4, found in the top left and bottom right sections, feature a striking blue background (azure) emblazoned with a silver (argent) chevron. Three gold (or) roosters are positioned around the chevron, their red (gules) beaks, crests, and talons adding a vibrant contrast. These roosters face each other (affronty) in the upper corners.

Quarters 2 and 3, on the other hand, showcase a different design. They boast a silver (argent) background adorned with three horizontal blue bands (fesses). This is framed by a red (gules) border that is engrailed (with an inward-pointing serrated edge).

The Central Escutcheon

At the heart of the design lies a smaller central shield (escutcheon). This escutcheon features a blue (azure) background with an image of Saint Lawrence, presented in his natural colors (proper), standing on a grassy area. Notably, he holds his traditional gridiron (grill), a symbol of his martyrdom, with his usual cloak omitted.

Symbolism and Meaning

The coat of arms is a symbolic representation of the merged municipalities of Oostmalle and Westmalle. The roosters and chevron in quarters 1 and 4 are derived from the heraldry of Westmalle, specifically tied to the Cottereau family. The three fesses with the red engrailed bordure in quarters 2 and 3 are borrowed from the Dammartin family, which has historical importance in the area. Finally, the figure of Saint Lawrence in the escutcheon represents Oostmalle, with the gridiron serving as his attribute as the patron saint of the community.

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.
