Mechelen Wapen (Belgium) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the majestic coat of arms of Mechelen, a city in Belgium, a design rich in history and symbolism.

The Shield

The primary element is the shield, featuring a striking design. Three vertical red stripes (pales) stand out against a golden (yellow) background. This arrangement is derived from the Berthout family, influential Lords of Mechelen during the 12th and 13th centuries.

The Escutcheon

Superimposed upon the shield, in a smaller central shield, is the Imperial Eagle. This black eagle on a golden background represents the imperial influence Mechelen gained in 1490 when Emperor Frederick III granted its use.

Royal Embellishments

A golden crown, adorned with thirteen pearls (three elevated), surmounts the shield, signifying the city's status and history. Flanking the shield are two golden griffins, mythical creatures with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. Their red tongues and claws add a vibrant touch. The griffins are directly linked to the Habsburg emperors, serving as symbolic supporters of the coat of arms.

Motto

A golden ribbon elegantly displays the motto "In Trouwen Vast" in black lettering. This modern Dutch phrase, meaning "steadfast in faith," is a testament to the city's enduring values, and the design's link to Mechelen's historical identity.

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.
