Mergoscia Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms of Mergoscia, Switzerland, a striking emblem of local identity and pride.

Visual Elements

The central design is dominated by a shield, the primary element of the coat of arms. It's rendered in a gyronny pattern, meaning it's divided into triangular sections that radiate outwards from the center. These sections alternate between two vibrant colors: azure (blue) and gules (red), creating a dynamic and eye-catching visual effect.

At the heart of the design lies a smaller shield, an escutcheon, colored or (gold/yellow). Upon this golden field rests a prominent detail: the head of a ram, rendered in sable (black). The ram's head is depicted couped, meaning it's cleanly cut off at the neck, focusing the viewer’s attention on the animal’s features.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design is rich in symbolic meaning. The black ram's head, which in the local dialect is known as a he-goat, is a direct allusion to the nickname given to the inhabitants of Mergoscia, "Capron." This element serves as a clear identifier and a point of local pride.

The use of blue and red in the gyronny pattern is not coincidental. These colors mirror the official colors of the Canton of Ticino, Switzerland, establishing a strong visual link between Mergoscia and its canton. The design thus celebrates both local heritage and its connection to the wider region.

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.
