University of Aberdeen Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms of the University of Aberdeen, a heraldic emblem rich with symbolism and historical significance. The design is a miniature reflection of the university's enduring legacy.

The Shield's Quartered Design

The shield, the central element of the design, is quartered, with each quadrant telling a different part of the university's story. The top left quadrant, rendered in a striking Azure (blue) background, features a bough pot (vase) in gold, filled with three salmon arranged in a fret pattern and surrounded by lilies of the valley. Above, a radiant sunburst emanates rays, from which a right hand emerges, holding an open book. This tableau symbolizes knowledge, enlightenment, and the pursuit of learning.

The top right quadrant, set against an Argent (silver) background, presents a chief paly of six, alternating gold (Or) and red (Gules) vertical stripes. This represents the arms of George Keith, the fifth Earl Marischal, a significant figure in the university's history.

In the bottom left quadrant, an Argent (silver) field displays a black (Sable) chevron between three red (Gules) boars' heads, armed and langued Azure (blue). This emblem represents Bishop William Elphinstone, the university's founder, and his contribution to its establishment.

The bottom right quadrant, with a rich red (Gules) background, presents a triple-towered castle in silver (Argent). This is a direct representation of the city of Aberdeen's coat of arms, signifying the close and enduring relationship between the university and the city.

This detailed depiction of the University of Aberdeen's coat of arms is a testament to the institution's commitment to both tradition and intellectual development.

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.
