University of Pennsylvania Coat of Arms Shot Glass

This shot glass proudly displays the distinguished Shield (or Coat of Arms) of the University of Pennsylvania, a powerful visual emblem of the university's rich history and enduring values.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The central design is a classic heraldic shield, divided into two distinct fields. A bold red (gules) chief dominates the upper portion, featuring an open book and two dolphins. The open book, a ubiquitous symbol of learning, represents the pursuit of knowledge. Within it often appears the university's motto, though not directly depicted on this item: “Leges Sine Moribus Vanae” (“Laws without morals are useless”). The two dolphins, inspired by the coat of arms of Benjamin Franklin, one of Penn's founders, symbolize speed, intelligence, and the bonds of friendship.

Beneath the red chief lies a blue (azure) field, which is adorned with three white discs (plates) arranged in a triangular formation. These plates are derived from the coat of arms of William Penn, the university's namesake, and represent truth, sincerity, and the pursuit of peace. The colors red and blue, now the official colors of the university, were thoughtfully selected to reflect the heraldry of both Franklin and Penn, unifying the founders' legacies.

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.
