Midland Railway (United Kingdom) Shot Glass Design

This striking shot glass showcases the unofficial "Coat of Arms" of the historic Midland Railway, a prominent British railway company of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The design is a bold and colorful heraldic representation, evoking the grandeur and significance of the railway.

The Shield

At the heart of the design is a quartered shield. The upper left quarter proudly displays the arms of the City of London – a vibrant red cross and a gleaming sword, symbolizing the railway's vital connection to the nation's capital and its financial center. The upper right quarter, a space of dynamic change, reflects the railway's reach to major industrial hubs, represented by the arms of either Birmingham or Bristol, mirroring the company's evolving network.

The lower quarters are adorned with symbols of railway excellence. These areas are dedicated to speed, innovation and mechanical prowess. They incorporate motifs such as locomotive wheels, or perhaps the addition of winged wheels, representing the speed and dynamic nature of the railway. Majestic lions, a symbol of strength and progress, often featured in the design, and are positioned here as well. The vibrant colors in each element come together to complete this central focal point.

The Scroll and Supporters

Encircling the shield, the company's name, "Midland Railway," is presented on a decorative red or gold scroll, emphasizing the company's identity and brand recognition. Additional heraldic flare is provided by the flanking supporters: two powerful lions, or sometimes a lion and a unicorn. This adds to the sense of regality and power.

The Motto

While not always present, the motto "Forward" appears on some versions, representing the railway’s commitment to progress and innovation. This design is a visual testament to the Midland Railway's key role in Britain's industrial and economic development.

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.
