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

This shot glass showcases the prestigious coat of arms of Cardiff University, a design rich in heritage and symbolism.

Central Shield Elements

The design's focal point is the heraldic shield. The background is a vibrant red (Gules), setting a bold backdrop for the elements within. A silver (argent) border encircles the shield, providing a distinguished frame.

The center features a prominent golden (or) open book, a universally recognized symbol of learning and academia. Inscribed on the open pages are two distinct red (gules) symbols: a crescent, representing Cardiff University's position as the second institution of the University of Wales, and an octothorpe (hashtag), signifying its position as the fifth.

Above the open book, three golden (or) chevrons are displayed. These chevrons are derived from the arms of the de Clare family, historically significant Lords of Glamorgan, linking the university to the region's rich past.

Supporting Figures

The artwork may also feature the supporters, which are the figures to each side of the central shield. The Angel represents University College Cardiff and the Welsh Dragon symbolizing UWIST.

Motto

The motto, "Gwirionedd, Undod a Chytgord" (Truth, Unity, and Concord), sourced from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, conveys the university's core values.

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.
