Regius Professor Greek Cantab (England) (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished Coat of Arms granted in 1590 to the Regius Professor of Greek at the University of Cambridge. The design is a striking heraldic display, steeped in symbolism related to the Greek language and culture.

The Shield

The central element is the shield, divided per chevron into two contrasting colors. The upper portion, in black (sable), prominently features the Greek letters Alpha and Omega, representing the beginning and the end, a powerful symbol of completeness. The lower portion, in white (argent), depicts a cicada (grasshopper), an insect associated with ancient Greece, symbolizing eloquence and poetry. The chief (upper part) of the shield is red (gules) and bears a golden (or) lion passant guardant โ€“ a lion walking, facing forward, with the letter "G" in black (sable) on its side. This heraldic design embodies authority and academic excellence, specifically linked to the Greek professorship.

The Crest

Above the shield sits the crest, a further symbol of prestige. It presents a silver (argent) owl with golden (or) beak, legs, and ears. This wise owl, perched upon a wreath of black (sable) and white (argent), represents wisdom, knowledge, and the pursuit of learning, key tenets of the academic profession.

Overall Impression

The artwork is a visual representation of heraldic tradition. Each element, from the Greek letters to the owl, has been thoughtfully rendered to convey a sense of history, scholarly significance, and the enduring legacy of the Regius Professor of Greek at Cambridge.

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.
