Parikkala.vaakuna.1956 (Finland) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the original 1956 coat of arms for the municipality of Parikkala, Finland. The design is a striking example of heraldic artistry, employing a bold contrast and symbolic imagery.

Visual Elements

The core of the design features a black field, serving as a dramatic backdrop for the other elements. A silver (or white) Arctic grayling fish, depicted swimming horizontally, takes center stage. The fish is rendered with red-fin details, adding a subtle touch of color.

Three silver (white) "pykäläristi" crosses, a specific cross form, are strategically placed around the fish. Two crosses are positioned above the fish, while one is below, creating a balanced and visually interesting composition.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design's elements are deeply rooted in the local history and identity of Parikkala. The prominent Arctic grayling fish reflects the significant role of fishing in the area's heritage and economy.

The three crosses represent the three historical parishes or divisions within the municipality. Together, these elements convey a sense of place, history, and community pride.

The dark field enhances the heraldic impact, providing a strong visual base that highlights the silver fish and crosses, creating a memorable and 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.
