Opsterland Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate and historically rich coat of arms of Opsterland, a municipality in Friesland, Netherlands. The design is a vibrant representation of the region's heritage, meticulously crafted by heraldic artist Geerlof Bontekoe.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The design is a faithful reproduction of the Opsterland coat of arms, a symbol officially granted in 1935. It is divided into four distinct quarters, each telling a story of the region’s past.

The first quarter features a striking red cross against a silver background, representing the significance of the Christian faith in Opsterland's early history and its role as a key religious center in Friesland. This element highlights the municipality's deep-rooted connection to Christianity.

In the second quarter, a majestic red eagle, set against a gold field, takes center stage. This powerful emblem symbolizes the noble family Clenke, the founders of the De Klenke lordship, further illustrating the area's historical narrative and noble ancestry.

The third quarter displays three gold ram's heads on a blue background, arranged in a pattern of two above and one below. This imagery vividly depicts the agricultural essence of Opsterland, particularly its historical significance as a prominent sheep-farming region.

The fourth quarter presents a base featuring a wavy pattern of silver and blue lines, symbolizing the natural beauty of Opsterland. This detail represents the area's picturesque landscape and the presence of its waterways and other geographic features.

Completing the design is a golden coronet above the shield, adding a regal touch. The shield is also flanked by two wild men, who are heraldic figures holding clubs over their shoulders. These figures are not only decorative but also symbols associated with strength and guardianship, completing a visually impressive and historically meaningful 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.
