University of Birmingham Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms of the University of Birmingham, a visual representation of the institution's history and values, granted in 1900.

The Shield's Elements

The design centers around a shield divided into three key sections. At the top, the shield is split vertically (per pale) with vibrant colors: the left side is red (Gules), while the right side is blue (Azure). On the red field, a double-headed lion rampant, rendered in gold (Or), dominates the design. This symbol, derived from the arms of the Calthorpe family, represents the significant patronage and support the university received.

On the blue field, a mermaid, also depicted in gold, takes the stage. She holds a mirror in her right hand and a comb in her left, symbolizing Josiah Mason, the university's founder. The mermaid is a direct link to Mason's personal coat of arms.

The base of the shield, colored black (Sable), provides the foundation. Upon this, an open book, rendered in natural colors (Proper), lies open. It features two buckles and straps, along with the inscription "PER ARDUA AD ALTA" – the university motto – a testament to the pursuit of knowledge.

The artwork, in its heraldic style, meticulously recreates the original coat of arms, offering a visual connection to the university's esteemed heritage.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
