Oudkarspel (Netherlands) Shot Glass: Design Description

This shot glass showcases the historic coat of arms of Oudkarspel, a former municipality in North Holland, Netherlands. The design is a vibrant and symbolic representation of the village's heritage, reflecting both its noble past and its local identity.

Visual Elements & Symbolism

The central element is a shield, officially registered with the Hoge Raad van Adel. The design employs traditional heraldic elements to create a visually striking composition. The shield is divided, or "quartered," in a bold manner. A significant portion of the shield is composed of a chequered pattern in gold (yellow) and red, colors historically linked to nobility and the region.

A prominent gold quarter is present. Within this section, a black lion, a classic symbol of strength and authority, is featured. The lion is separated from the chequered field by a line of the same color as the lion. The entire composition is topped by a gold crown, adorned with three leaves and two pearls, further emphasizing the historical significance and status of Oudkarspel.

Meaning & Representation

The design speaks volumes about Oudkarspel’s history. The inclusion of the Egmond family’s heraldic elements acknowledges the influence and legacy of the noble family who held lordship over the area. The combination of these elements with the chequered pattern and the lion represents a cohesive symbol of the municipality’s identity, blending the influence of powerful noble families with the local character of the town.

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.
