Shield of the University of Manchester (United Kingdom) Shot Glass

This shot glass showcases the official coat of arms of the University of Manchester, a design steeped in history and symbolic meaning, reflecting the institution's heritage and its integral connection to the city of Manchester.

The Shield

The shield itself is divided horizontally. The upper section, in a striking bleu-celeste, features a radiant golden sun in splendour. This imagery represents enlightenment and the pursuit of knowledge, core values of the university.

The lower section, in a deep purpure, displays three bees volant proper (in their natural colours), a powerful symbol of Manchester's industrious past and present. The bees represent the city's tireless work ethic and its significance in the industrial revolution.

The Crest

Above the shield, the crest adds further layers of symbolism. A powerful golden demi-lion guardant (facing forward) embodies strength, courage, and the university's enduring spirit. This lion is murally crowned argent, a silver mural crown indicating its association with fortifications and, by extension, the city's defense.

The lion is depicted holding an erect black torch with golden flames. This torch symbolizes the relentless quest for knowledge and the illumination of minds through learning and research.

The Whole

The entire composition is a visual testament to the university's values, historical roots, and unwavering commitment to academic excellence and its contribution to society, reflecting the motto "Cognitio, sapientia, humanitas" โ€“ Knowledge, Wisdom, Humanity.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
