Shield of the University of Cumbria Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass showcases the official coat of arms of the University of Cumbria, a design rich in symbolism that reflects the institution's heritage and values. The central design is dominated by the shield, a testament to the University's deep connection to the Cumbria region and its founding principles.

The Shield: A Symbol of Place and Purpose

At the heart of the design, the shield presents a powerful visual narrative. Three Parnassus flowers, the county flower of Cumbria, are prominently featured, representing the university's strong ties to its geographical home. Intertwined with this regional emblem are two bishops' mitres crossed with artists' brushes, a direct nod to the university's Christian roots and its dedication to both creative and intellectual pursuits.

Encircling these core elements is a gold twisted rope border. This detail symbolizes the bringing together of various institutions to form the University of Cumbria, highlighting the unity and collaborative spirit at the heart of the institution's foundation.

The Crest: Enlightenment and Landscape

Rising above the shield is the crest, an emblem that further enriches the design. Here, a torch of knowledge is held aloft, symbolizing enlightenment and the pursuit of learning. Beneath the torch, a blue wave represents the stunning Cumbrian coast and the iconic lakes of the Lake District, anchoring the university's identity to the area's natural beauty. Three gold stars are set upon the blue waves, referencing the ceiling of Carlisle Cathedral and connecting the institution's imagery to local history. Finishing off the crest are two branches of beech, reflecting the university's modern logo.

Supporters: Wildlife and Regional Ties

Flanking the shield are two supporters, adding yet another layer of symbolic meaning. A gold ram and a gold stag, both representing the diverse wildlife of Cumbria, stand as guardians. Around their necks, they bear gold twisted ropes from which red roses hang, paying tribute to Lancashire and the connections within the region.

The Design as a Whole

This shot glass presents a complete and meaningful visual summary of the University of Cumbria's identity. From the regional flora and fauna to the representation of the university's values, this design is a testament to the institution's heritage and its commitment to fostering aspiration and achievement.

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.
