Tiel Wapen Shot Glass: A Slice of History

This shot glass showcases the historic coat of arms (wapen) of Tiel, a venerable city in the Netherlands, as officially registered by the Hoge Raad van Adel (HRvA), the Dutch High Council of Nobility.

Design Elements: The Red Lion Rampant

The primary design element is the striking heraldic composition itself: a fierce red lion (in heraldic terms, "a lion of keel") proudly displayed against a radiant gold (or yellow) background. The lion is depicted in a rampant pose, symbolizing strength, courage, and sovereignty.

The lion's tongue and claws are rendered in a vibrant blue ("getongd en genageld van azuur"), adding a contrasting detail that further enhances the visual impact of the design. This precise blazon, adhering to the principles of heraldry, ensures the accurate representation of Tiel's official coat of arms.

Symbolism and Historical Context

The use of the red lion on gold is deeply symbolic, connecting Tiel to the historical realms of Guelders and Holland. The lion, a classic heraldic symbol, embodies valor and leadership, reflecting the city's important historical role.

The golden field represents prosperity and wealth, fitting for a city with a rich trading history dating back centuries. This design is a visual testament to Tiel's legacy as one of the oldest towns in the Netherlands.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
