Open University Coat of Arms Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms of The Open University (OU) in the United Kingdom, a heraldic emblem granted in 1971. The design is a miniature rendition of this symbol of knowledge, learning, and personal growth.

Shield Elements

The central element is the shield (escutcheon), rendered in a vibrant Azure (blue) field. The focal point is an open book, depicted in its natural colors (proper), bound in Gules (red). This symbolizes the pursuit of knowledge. The book is irradiated in gold (Or), with the top part, the chief, also in gold. On the chief are two laurel wreaths (fructed proper), a symbol of achievement and honor.

Crest Details

Above the shield, the crest presents a round-based escutcheon pierced in the canton, all in Azure (blue). This is set between two branches of laurel, and is placed on a wreath of gold and blue. The leaves are fimbriated (outlined) in Gules (red).

Supporting Features

Flanking the shield, on either side, are heraldic lions (rampant Or - gold), representing strength and courage. These majestic supporters are depicted holding saplings, each bearing leaves and fruits in their natural colors (proper), symbolizing growth and the cultivation of knowledge.

The Motto

The complete heraldic achievement would also include the motto, "Learn and Live," conveying the core values of the university - the continuous pursuit of knowledge and personal development.

This shot glass's design encapsulates the essence of the Open University's commitment to accessible education and its celebration of learning.

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.
