SOAS London Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms of the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London. The design presents the core visual elements of the arms, a potent symbol of the institution's global focus and commitment to knowledge.

The Shield

The central element is a shield divided by a vibrant red cross (Gules) against a silver (Argent) background. In the top left quarter (the first quarter) of the shield, a vertical red sword (Gules) points upwards, representing strength and the pursuit of knowledge. Above, a red horizontal band (Chief) displays an open book, symbolizing learning and scholarship, flanked by two golden lotus flowers (Or) โ€“ a bud on one side and a leafed bloom on the other. These elements reflect the school's focus on Eastern studies, and the lotus, in particular, represents purity, enlightenment, and rebirth, themes associated with many of the cultures SOAS studies.

The Crest

Above the shield, the crest features a lion, embodying strength, dignity and courage. The lion is shown passant guardant (walking and looking forward), resting its paw on a scroll. Behind the lion, a rising sun is positioned, signifying a new dawn and the spread of knowledge. All of these elements are shown in natural colors. The wreath of colors behind the crest is in red and silver.

The Supporters

The design is completed with a camel on the right and an elephant on the left of the shield, serving as supporters. These animals, depicted in their natural colors, further reflect the geographical focus of SOAS, representing the regions of Asia and Africa that the school studies.

The overall composition of the design on the shot glass is a powerful visual statement of the School's academic mission and global perspective, reflecting the spirit and aims of the School.

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.
