Merton College Crest (England) Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass proudly displays the distinguished coat of arms of Merton College, Oxford, a symbol of heritage and academic prestige.

Shield Design

The primary visual element is the shield, the heart of the heraldic design. The field of the shield is depicted in black (sable), providing a strong and enduring base for the other elements. Dominating the top of the shield is a gold (or) chief, a horizontal band adding a touch of elegance and importance.

Lions and Color

Upon the gold chief, three majestic red (gules) lions are elegantly rendered in the "passant guardant" pose, appearing to walk with their heads turned to face the viewer. These lions represent courage, strength, and a connection to English national heritage. The choice of red symbolizes valor, while the golden chief speaks to generosity and intellectual elevation. The contrast between the black, gold, and red hues offers a visually striking and memorable composition.

Meaning and Symbolism

The overall design represents Merton College's commitment to constancy and determination, embodied by the black field, and its commitment to the elevation of the mind and generosity, symbolized by the gold chief. The presence of the three lions signifies the institution's historic ties and values.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
