Ouderkerk aan den IJssel Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the striking coat of arms of the former municipality of Ouderkerk aan den IJssel in the Netherlands. The design is a vibrant representation of local history and geographical significance, making it a distinctive and meaningful artwork.

Visual Elements

The central design is a shield, divided horizontally. On the left side (dexter) stands a silver/white field, punctuated by three black crescents, gracefully turned to the right and arranged in a pattern of two above one. The right side (sinister) displays a bold red background, centered by a radiant gold star. Crowning the shield is a wavy, horizontal stripe in blue, symbolizing the Hollandse IJssel river which runs nearby.

The shield is topped with a golden crown, adorned with three leaves and two pearls, a typical element for Dutch municipal coats of arms.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design is a rich tapestry of symbolism. The wavy blue stripe at the top explicitly represents the Hollandse IJssel river, cementing the municipality's identity with its riverine location. The three black crescents on the left side derive from the arms of the influential Van Polanen / Van Wassenaer family, reflecting the historical ties to the region. The gold star on the red field adds a sense of nobility and distinction to the design.

Overall, the design is a testament to the municipality's heritage, beautifully blending historical elements with geographical context.

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.
