Paltamo.vaakuna (Finland) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the heraldic design of Paltamo, a municipality in Finland, offering a striking visual representation of its history and identity. The design centers around a golden (or) background, which serves as the foundation for the central motif.

Core Visual Element: The Tar Boats

The defining feature of the Paltamo coat of arms is the presence of three black (sable) tar-boats. These boats are arranged vertically, one above the other (in pale). Each boat is depicted with barrels or casks, emphasizing their function in the historical tar trade.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design’s symbolism is deeply rooted in the local history and dialect. The three tar-boats are a direct reference to the word "Paltamo" in the local Kainuu dialect, which translates to "tar-boat." This motif pays homage to the municipality's significant involvement in tar burning and trade, particularly during the 1800s. The golden field further enhances the significance, representing value and prominence, reflecting the historical richness and importance of the tar trade in the region.

Artistic Context

The heraldic design was created by the Finnish heraldist Gustaf Herman von Numers. The coat of arms was officially approved by the municipal council on March 20, 1953, solidifying its role as a symbol of Paltamo.

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.
