University of Nottingham Coat of Arms Shot Glass

This shot glass features the distinguished coat of arms of the University of Nottingham, a powerful visual representation of the institution's history and values. The design is a faithful reproduction of the official heraldic emblem granted in 1948.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The shield itself is the central focus, displaying a vibrant and meaningful arrangement. The background is divided by six wavy horizontal stripes of alternating silver (argent) and blue (azure), symbolizing the River Trent which flows near the University. A bold red (gules) cross moline, a distinctive cross with flaring arms, is emblazoned across the center. This cross is a prominent heraldic device, adding a sense of strength and tradition.

At the top of the shield, the chief (upper third) bears additional symbolism. A red field provides the backdrop for a detailed scene: a gold (Or) open book, clasped shut, inscribed with the words 'Quaerenti Ostium' in elegant black Roman characters. This Latin phrase translates to "To the Seeker of Knowledge" and reflects the university's commitment to learning and intellectual pursuit. Flanking the book are two towers, rendered in their natural colors (proper), and each topped with a golden symbol. The tower on the left is adorned with a silver increscent (a crescent moon), while the tower on the right features a gold estoile (a star with wavy rays). These elements add further depth and detail to the design, signifying the university's connection to the pursuit of knowledge and its place in the world.

The coat of arms, as depicted on this shot glass, is not merely decorative; it is a profound visual statement, echoing the University of Nottingham's heritage, academic values, and commitment to scholarship.

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.
