University of Bristol Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the prestigious Coat of Arms of the University of Bristol, a design rich in historical and symbolic significance.

Central Elements

At the heart of the design, a red cross, rendered in the traditional "gules" color, forms the foundation. This echoes the historical connection to the City of Bristol, mirroring elements found in the city's medieval seals.

Superimposed upon the cross is the distinctive representation of the City of Bristol's arms, featuring a fortified castle and a ship. These elements powerfully depict Bristol's fortified harbor and long-standing maritime heritage, reflecting the city's importance throughout history.

Flanking Emblems

Flanking the central elements are symbols representing key facets of the university's identity. Above the city arms, a radiant "sun in splendour," a symbol drawn from the Wills family's coat of arms, speaks to enlightenment and the pursuit of knowledge.

An open book, inscribed with the Latin words "Nisi quia Dominus", is positioned below the city arms. This motto translates to "Unless the Lord," reinforcing the university's foundation in Christian values.

Supplementary Symbols

To the left and right, the design incorporates heraldic symbols that acknowledge the University’s benefactors. On one side, we find a dolphin, representing the Colston family, and on the other, a horse, symbolizing the Fry family, recognizing their significant contributions to the university’s establishment.

Overall Impression

This design for the University of Bristol shot glass is a powerful visual statement. It presents the University's rich history, its connection to the city of Bristol, and its dedication to knowledge, tradition, and the individuals that have helped shape its destiny.

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.
