Shield of the University of Bradford (United Kingdom) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms of the University of Bradford, a symbol steeped in history and academic values.

The Shield's Imagery

The shield itself, the central focus of the design, features a vibrant red background, or "Gules" in heraldic terms. This color directly reflects the city of Bradford's own heraldic colors, instantly connecting the university to its location in the West Riding of Yorkshire.

At the base of the shield, a pristine white rose is prominently displayed. This emblem of the White Rose of York, a traditional symbol of Yorkshire, grounds the university's identity in the region's rich heritage.

Centered on the shield is an open book, a universal symbol of learning and knowledge. This book is detailed with seven clasps, a direct reference to the medieval trivium and quadrivium, the foundational educational structures of the time, representing the core academic principles of the university.

Positioned at the top of the shield are bugle horns, an evocative reference to the legendary Bradford Boar. This addition connects the university to the city's unique historical narrative.

The Crest and Supporters

Above the shield, the crest presents a flaming torch, its radiant rays signifying enlightenment and a commitment to innovation. This emblem captures the university's forward-thinking approach and emphasis on technological advancement.

Flanking the shield are two winged lions, strong symbols of protection and fortitude. These majestic creatures enhance the visual impact of the design and symbolize the university's protective role.

The Motto

Beneath the shield, the Latin motto, "Give Invention Light," is elegantly displayed. Drawn from Shakespeare's Sonnet 38, it elegantly encapsulates the university's dedication to fostering creativity, knowledge and the pursuit of new ideas.

This design is a visual encapsulation of the University of Bradford’s core values, seamlessly blending tradition and modernity in a powerful and meaningful statement.

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.
