Shield of Kingston University Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished Coat of Arms of Kingston University London, a heraldic emblem rich in history and symbolic meaning. The central focus is the shield, meticulously divided to represent the university's core values and its connection to the region.

The Shield

The shield is artfully bisected. The upper portion features an open book, a universally recognized symbol of knowledge and learning. On its pages, two keys are prominently displayed. These keys are a direct reference to the historical arms of Surrey, acknowledging Kingston's geographical roots within the county.

The lower section of the shield bears a golden crown. This majestic symbol directly commemorates the Saxon kings who were crowned in Kingston, highlighting the town's significant royal history.

Additional Elements

Above the shield, the crest presents an owl, a classic emblem of wisdom and scholarship. The owl is depicted holding a quill, further emphasizing the pursuit of knowledge. Flanking the shield are the supporters: a lion and a hind. The lion embodies strength, while the hind represents agility, embodying the university's aspirational qualities.

The entire composition rests on a compartment comprised of a grassy mount, adorned with a wavy blue line, representing the River Thames, which borders Kingston. Three salmon, a nod to the area's historical fisheries, complete the design.

Motto

While not visually represented, the university's motto, "Per Scientiam Progredimur" ("Through Learning We Progress"), underpins the entire heraldic design, emphasizing the university's dedication to education and advancement.

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.
