Wrexham Glyndŵr University Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate and symbolic Coat of Arms of Wrexham University (formerly Wrexham Glyndŵr University), a powerful representation of the institution's values and heritage.

The Shield: A Quartered Legacy

The central element, the shield, is visually striking due to its unique division. The field is "quartered," meaning it’s divided into four sections. However, this is not a simple division. It’s split "per fess indented," meaning there is a zigzag line horizontally, and "per pale," splitting the shield vertically. The colors gold (Or) and red (Gules) are interwoven. These colors create the background for the primary elements.

Lions of Learning

Four lions “passant guardant” (walking, facing the viewer) dominate the shield, each clutching a book in its forepaw. This reflects a commitment to education and knowledge. These lions are "counterchanged," a key detail. This means the lions' colors alternate, mirroring the background. Those positioned on a gold background are red, and vice versa. This design suggests a dynamic balance of forces, and the interplay between knowledge and learning.

The Crest: Wings of the Dragon & Books of Knowledge

Above the shield, the crest presents a stack of books. These books are bound in alternating red and gold, again mirroring the colors of the shield. Flanking the books are a pair of dragon's wings (one gold, one red). The dragon wings represent the history and Welsh heritage.

Supporters: Dragon and Lion

The shield is supported by a dragon and a lion, each divided horizontally. The dragon represents Welsh history. The lion is also a nod to British heraldry. Each animal is "reguardant," looking back over its shoulder. These supporters add visual impact and reinforce the coat of arms' symbolic power.

A Visual Tapestry of Education

In sum, the design is a complex visual statement that underscores the university's motto, “Confidence through Education." Every element, from the divided field to the counterchanged lions holding books, contributes to a rich tapestry of meaning, history, and academic aspiration.

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.
