Motala Stad Vapen (Sweden) Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass showcases the coat of arms of Motala Municipality, a striking emblem steeped in history and symbolism.

Current Coat of Arms Depiction

The central element of the design is the shield, featuring a silver (argent) field bisected by a vibrant blue (azure) bend, a diagonal stripe running from the top left to the bottom right. Above this bend, two majestic black (sable) eagle wings are presented, elegantly turned downwards. Remarkably, each wing is topped with a monkey head, adding a unique and intriguing detail.

Below the blue bend, a bold red (gules) four-bladed propeller is prominently displayed. This complete design represents Motala's current official municipal coat of arms, granted in 1949 and in use since the formation of the municipality in 1971.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design is rich in meaning, echoing the history and achievements of the city. The eagle wings and monkey heads are derived from the crest of the von Platen family, a lineage integral to Motala's development, especially its industrial growth. The presence of the propeller underscores Motala's central role in Sweden's industrial heritage, specifically its contributions to engineering and manufacturing. The overall aesthetic is a bold blend of heraldry and industrial imagery, a true representation of Motala's identity.

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.
