University of Chester Shot Glass: A Miniature Coat of Arms

This shot glass proudly displays the official coat of arms of the University of Chester, a design rich in history and symbolism.

The Shield: A Foundation of Heritage

The central element is a shield, or escutcheon, primarily featuring a field of argent (silver or white) crossed by a bold red cross of St. George, a direct nod to the institution's historical roots. At its heart lies a golden wheatsheaf, the garb, representing the Earldom of Cheshire and cementing the university's ties to its local region.

In the first quarter of the shield, an open, clasped book rendered in gold symbolizes the university’s dedication to education and learning. In front of the open book, two crossed swords in their natural colors, with golden hilts and pomels, add a further layer of symbolism to the design.

Crest: A Symbol of Foundation

Above the shield, the crest takes the form of a bishop's mitre, a visual declaration of the university's Anglican origins. The mitre is positioned in front of two crossed swords, echoing the design elements of the County of Cheshire's coat of arms.

Supporters: Guardian Figures

Completing the visual narrative, the coat of arms incorporates supporting griffins. On the right, a golden griffin, bearing the University Mace, represents Edward Smith-Stanley, 14th Earl of Derby. On the left, a black griffin bearing a sword represents William Gladstone. Both griffins wear collars in the university’s red and white colors, tying them to the institution.

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.
