Opmeer Wapen (Netherlands) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the captivating coat of arms of the Dutch municipality of Opmeer. The design is a vibrant representation of the town's history and heritage, meticulously crafted to reflect the municipality's official status.

Design Elements

The central element of the design is the shield, which is divided into four distinct quarters. Each quarter presents a unique emblem, visually telling the story of Opmeer's component municipalities and their shared history:

  • First Quarter: A striking red lion on a silver background. This lion symbolizes strength and courage and reflects traditional regional heraldry.
  • Second Quarter: A golden sheaf of wheat on a blue background. This sheaf is a direct reference to Aartswoud, representing the area's agricultural heritage.
  • Third Quarter: A silver, uprooted linden tree on a blue background. The linden tree is a symbol of Opmeer and Hoogwoud.
  • Fourth Quarter: A red lion, with its head cut off, on a gold background. This variation of the lion is a further nod to the regional heraldic tradition.

The shield is surmounted by a golden municipal crown, featuring three leaves and two pearls, which is a standard representation for Dutch municipalities.

Complementing the shield are two supporters: a silver eagle on the heraldic right and a golden lion on the left. These supporters further enhance the design and symbolize the strength and official status of Opmeer.

Symbolism and Meaning

The coat of arms is a rich tapestry of symbolism. The design, with its quartered shield, reflects the historical merging of the municipalities of Opmeer, Spanbroek, Aartswoud, and Hoogwoud. The inclusion of the lion, both in its complete and decapitated forms, and the tree reflect the regional heraldic traditions. The sheaf of wheat and the linden tree clearly represent specific localities within the municipality, adding depth and narrative to the overall design.

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.
