Paul Reeves Arms (New Zealand) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design showcases the heraldic achievement granted to Sir Paul Reeves, reflecting his heritage and service as Governor-General of New Zealand. The artwork is rich with symbolism, making it a powerful visual statement.

Central Elements

The design prominently features the shield (escutcheon) divided into fields of silver (Argent) and blue (Azure), a traditional heraldic approach. Within the shield, three bishop's mitres are arranged to symbolize Reeves' ecclesiastical roles as a bishop. These mitres are decorated with the intricate "pītau kowhaiwhai" pattern, a key element representing Māori culture.

Adding to the visual complexity, three radiant stars (estoiles) are incorporated, their colours counter-changed against the background. At the center (fess point), a Royal Crown, represents his role as Governor-General.

Crest and Motto

Above the shield, the crest presents a unique element: a Māori “poutama” stepped pattern circlet, on which stands a tui bird (or parson-bird). The tui holds aloft three white feathers, a symbol linking to Reeves' Māori heritage. The design is completed with a motto, "Whakarongo," a Māori word meaning “to listen” or “to be informed,” reflecting his commitment to understanding and dialogue.

Supporters and Compartment

Flanking the shield are supporters: on one side, a kiwi bird, and on the other, a kotuku (white heron), both native to New Zealand. They wear ancient crowns and hold bishop's crooks, symbolizing their role in supporting the shield. The base of the design is a grassy mount with fern fronds, setting the scene within the New Zealand landscape.

Meaning and Symbolism

The overall design is a sophisticated blend of heraldic traditions with Māori cultural elements. The various elements reflect Sir Paul Reeves' multiple roles, his Māori heritage, and his connection to the land and people of New Zealand. The Maori design motifs, such as the poutama pattern and kowhaiwhai, incorporate indigenous culture into a vice-regal heraldic device, reflecting his historic position.

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.
