Opfikon-blazon (Switzerland) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the heraldic artistry of Opfikon, a municipality in Switzerland, through its distinctive coat of arms. The design is a bold and balanced composition of color and form, reflecting a rich historical narrative.

Design Elements

The artwork is divided horizontally. The top half is a vibrant red (gules) field. Emerging from this red background is a half-length portrait of a man, his upper body in black (sable) attire, accented by a white (argent) collar and silver (argent) hair. This striking portrait represents the Burkhard de Opphinkon family, a noble lineage that once held prominence in the area during the 13th century.

The bottom half of the design is a contrasting silver (argent) field. Centrally placed within this area is a black (sable) cross pattee. This specific type of cross, with its flared arms, is a symbol adopted from the arms of the Grossmünster canonry, recalling the historical ties and tithes paid by the settlement of Oberhausen, now part of Opfikon.

Symbolism and Meaning

The coat of arms, as depicted on this shot glass, is a visual narrative. The man's portrait embodies the history and legacy of the Burkhard de Opphinkon family, connecting the present with the past. The black pattee cross signifies the spiritual and communal ties to the Grossmünster canonry. The overall design serves as a testament to local history and identity, and the colors are a key part of the message.

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.
