St Cuthbert's Society Durham Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished Coat of Arms of St Cuthbert's Society, a college within Durham University, England. The design is rich in symbolism, deeply rooted in the history and ethos of the institution and its namesake, St. Cuthbert.

The Shield: A Symbol of Faith and Legacy

At the heart of the design lies the shield, colored Vert (green), representing growth and life. Dominating the shield is a depiction of St. Cuthbert's cross, meticulously rendered in gold and garnet, echoing the pectoral cross discovered in his grave and now preserved in Durham Cathedral. This central element directly connects the college to St. Cuthbert's profound spiritual legacy.

Framing the central imagery, the Bordure (border) is presented in Argent (silver). This color signifies protection, peace, and sincerity, embodying the college's values and its commitment to fostering a supportive community.

The Crest: A Tribute to Cuthbert's Conservation

Above the shield, the Crest features a charming Eider duck (Somateria mollissima). Locally known as "Cuddy's duck," this avian symbol pays homage to St. Cuthbert's dedication to the protection of seabirds on the Farne Islands. It reflects the early conservation efforts of the saint and underscores the college's connection to nature and environmental stewardship.

The Motto: A Reflection of Community Spirit

While not visually present on the shot glass itself, the design's underlying spirit is captured by the motto, "Gratia gratiam parit." Translating to "Grace begets grace" or "Friendship begets friendship," this phrase, drawn from Erasmus's Adagia, represents the college's core values of mutual respect, kindness, and the cultivation of strong bonds between its members.

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.
