St Hild's College Durham (Pre-1969) Coat of Arms Shot Glass

This shot glass showcases the historic coat of arms of St Hild’s College, Durham, as it was used before the 1970s merger. The design is a vibrant representation of the college's heraldic identity, steeped in symbolism and tradition.

The Shield: A Visual Story

The central element is the shield, the escutcheon, which is dominated by a deep purple field, providing a rich backdrop for the significant charges. Three ammonites, ancient spiral-shaped fossils, are arranged in a diagonal bend, a direct reference to the college's symbolic elements and history. They are the key to the College's identity.

Two narrow, parallel bands or "cotices" frame the ammonites adding structure. Above the ammonites, a rampant lion supports a bourdon, a pilgrim's staff, symbolizing strength and faith. At the base, a silver (argent) cross formy quadrate is displayed, a traditional heraldic symbol of Christianity and the college's ecclesiastical associations. The arrangement of these elements reflects the values and traditions of the College.

The Crest: Symbolic Excellence

Above the shield, the crest features a crozier head, the top of a bishop's staff, rendered in gold (Or). This crest, a symbol of ecclesiastical authority and representing the College's dedication to its purpose and historical context, is placed upon a wreath of the college colours.

The Motto: A Declaration

The Latin motto, "Supra montem posita" - "Placed upon a hill" is the symbolic statement of the college's aspirations and purpose.

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.
