Peterhouse Shield Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms of Peterhouse, the oldest college at the University of Cambridge, established in 1284. The design is a faithful rendition of the heraldic achievement granted in 1575.

Visual Elements and Symbolism

The central field of the design presents a striking Or (Gold) background. Across this gold field, four bold, vertical stripes of Gules (Red), known as pallets, are prominently displayed, creating a powerful visual impact.

Framing this central composition is a Bordure Gules, a surrounding red border. Embellishing this border are eight meticulously rendered ducal coronets, depicted in gold. The placement of these coronets around the perimeter adds a sense of regal prestige and completeness to the design.

Meaning and Representation

The coat of arms, as represented on this shot glass, is deeply rooted in the college's history and its founding by Bishop Hugh de Balsham. The elements of the design are significant, reflecting the ecclesiastical origins of Peterhouse and its connection to the See of Ely. The incorporation of red stripes represents the historic roots while the gold ducal coronets further signify the college's esteemed place in Cambridge University.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
