Proposal Coat of Arms of New Zealand Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a unique piece of New Zealand's heraldic history: a design from the "Proposal Coat of Arms of New Zealand." Unlike the official Coat of Arms, these designs represent alternative concepts considered during the early 1908-1911 competition to create a national emblem.

Visual Elements and Symbolism

The artwork likely features a shield, the central element of the Coat of Arms, filled with symbolic imagery. The specific symbols on this proposal will vary from design to design, but are intended to represent the nation's identity and aspirations. Potential imagery includes elements reflecting New Zealand's environment, economy, and heritage.

This may incorporate the following:

  • National Flora and Fauna: Native plants, like ferns or flax, alongside native birds, such as the Kiwi.
  • Economic Symbols: Elements representing key industries, such as agriculture (e.g., wheat, sheep), mining, or shipping.
  • Indigenous Heritage: Symbols to represent Māori culture, such as the Taiaha, or Māori carvings.
  • Early Colonial influences: Elements like ships and the New Zealand Ensign representing the early European settlers.

The inclusion of supporting figures, if present, would have added another layer of meaning. These figures might be symbolic representations, perhaps a Māori figure and a Pākehā figure to represent the bicultural heritage of New Zealand. The presence of a crown would have symbolized the nation's connection to the British monarchy.

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.
