Merton College Oxford Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the prestigious Coat of Arms of Merton College, Oxford. The design is a vibrant representation of the college's rich history and enduring values.

Heraldic Elements

The central visual element is the blazon, or heraldic description, rendered in striking detail. The dominant color, Gules (red), a symbol of courage and magnanimity, forms the background. Across this field, a prominent Chevron Argent (silver/white), signifying protection and a strong foundation, is depicted.

Upon the chevron, three ravens Sable (black) are elegantly displayed. These ravens, traditionally associated with learning, wisdom, and watchfulness, pay homage to Walter de Merton, the college's founder.

Motto Inscription

Below the Coat of Arms, the motto, "Merrie et sage," is carefully inscribed. This Anglo-Norman French phrase, meaning "Merry and Wise," encapsulates the college's ethos: a harmonious blend of joyous learning and profound scholarship.

Overall Representation

The design as a whole is a powerful visual statement. It speaks of Merton College’s heritage, its dedication to academic excellence, and its founding principles. The bold colors, coupled with the symbolic imagery, create a lasting impression, evoking a sense of history and tradition.

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.
