University of Glasgow Shot Glass Design

This shot glass proudly displays the iconic coat of arms of the University of Glasgow, a visual testament to its rich history and academic prestige. The design is a miniature, yet faithful, recreation of the university's venerable shield.

The Shield's Quarters

The artwork is meticulously divided into four quadrants, each holding a significant heraldic element. The upper left and lower right quadrants showcase a vibrant red saltire, or diagonal cross, emblazoned against a pristine white background. This design is drawn from the Arms of Saint Andrew, paying homage to Scotland's patron saint and representing the university's deep Scottish roots.

The upper right and lower left quadrants feature a deep blue field, upon which rests a prominent open book. The open book symbolizes the core of the university's mission: the pursuit of learning, scholarship, and the dissemination of knowledge. The book's design implicitly embodies the university’s dedication to education.

Color Symbolism

The color palette employed in the design further enhances its significance. The bold red and white hues of the saltire are traditional heraldic colors, with red often symbolizing courage and valor, while white often represents purity and truth. The contrasting blue field complements the red and white, adding depth and visual interest.

A Legacy in Miniature

In essence, this shot glass encapsulates the visual essence of the University of Glasgow, a powerful emblem of Scottish heritage and academic excellence. The meticulously rendered artwork conveys a strong sense of tradition and the enduring values of knowledge and truth.

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.
