New Zealand Herald Arms Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass showcases the iconic Coat of Arms of New Zealand, a powerful visual representation of the nation's identity and heritage. The design is a carefully constructed heraldic composition, rich with symbolism and historical significance.

The Shield: A Nation's Story

At the heart of the design lies the shield, a quartered emblem that tells the story of New Zealand's development. The top-left quadrant proudly displays the Southern Cross constellation, a celestial beacon and a symbol of New Zealand's geographical location. The top-right quarter features a golden fleece, representing the importance of the wool industry and agriculture in the nation's economy. A sheaf of wheat in the bottom-left signifies the bounty of agricultural pursuits, while the crossed hammers in the bottom-right are a nod to the vital role of mining.

Intersecting these quadrants is the central pale, which is dominated by three ships. These vessels pay homage to New Zealand's maritime heritage, specifically referencing the Cook Strait and the journeys that have shaped the country's history.

Supporters and Sovereignty

The shield is flanked by two distinguished supporters. On the left stands a Māori chieftain, proudly holding a taiaha, a traditional weapon and a potent symbol of Māori culture and heritage. On the right, a European woman holds the New Zealand Ensign, representing the European settlers and the shared history of the nation.

Above the shield, St Edward's Crown sits majestically, symbolizing the Sovereign of New Zealand and the nation's allegiance to the Crown.

The Foundation

The entire composition rests on a base formed by two fern fronds, a quintessential national symbol of New Zealand, reinforcing the deep connection to the land and its unique flora.

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.
