Pfäfers-blazon (Switzerland) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the heraldic emblem of Pfäfers, a municipality in the Swiss canton of St. Gallen. The design is a direct translation of the official coat of arms, a powerful visual statement distilled into a compact form.

Visual Elements and Representation

The core of the design features a striking image: a dove in flight, rendered in pristine silver (or white). The dove is depicted flying towards the viewer's left, a common heraldic convention known as "to the dexter." This pose adds dynamism and a sense of movement to the design.

The dove is distinguished by a red, bloody-tinged sprig, clutched delicately in its beak. This detail is crucial to understanding the symbolism of the coat of arms. The bird's limbs, are also rendered in the same red. This specific color, known as "gules" in heraldry, provides a sharp contrast against the dove's silver feathers and the red field of the background.

The background, which is red (gules) in heraldic terms, forms the backdrop for the dove. This bold color choice further enhances the visual impact of the design and acts as a supporting element.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design tells a story rooted in local legend. The dove symbolizes a pivotal moment in the founding of a monastery in the area. The dove carrying the bloody sprig is a divine sign which led the locals to establish the monastery at a specific spot. This is further symbolized by the sprig held in its beak.

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.
