Somerville College Oxford Arms Shot Glass: Design and Symbolism

This shot glass showcases the distinguished Coat of Arms of Somerville College, Oxford, a design rich in historical and symbolic meaning.

The Shield: A Beacon of Enlightenment

The central design, the shield, is the focal point. Against a pristine Argent (silver/white) background, representing purity and truth, rests a bold chevron sable (black chevron). This element signifies protection and the building of knowledge, key principles of academic endeavor.

Three vibrant estoiles gules (red stars) are positioned above and below the chevron. These stars symbolize light, aspiration, and guidance, reflecting the college's dedication to the pursuit of knowledge and intellectual illumination.

At the heart of the design, on the chevron, is a torch enflamed proper, a classical and universal symbol of learning, enlightenment, and education. This burning torch vividly conveys Somerville College's commitment to fostering intellectual growth and the illumination of the mind.

The Essence of Somerville

The overall composition encapsulates Somerville College’s identity as a pioneering institution of learning. The carefully chosen heraldic elements – the stars, the torch, and the supporting chevron – work together to create a powerful visual statement about the college’s values and its enduring mission.

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.
