Univ Oxford CoA (England) Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms of the University of Oxford, a powerful emblem steeped in history and symbolism. The design, rendered with precision, presents the core elements of the heraldic achievement.

Visual Elements

The central focus is the iconic shield, featuring a deep blue (azure) background, representing truth, loyalty, and the pursuit of knowledge. Dominating the field is an open book, its pages inscribed with the Latin motto: “Dominus Illuminatio Mea” ("The Lord is my Light"), a powerful statement of divine guidance in the quest for understanding. The book's red covers and gold clasps add a touch of regality to the artwork.

Above and below the book, three gold open crowns are meticulously arranged in a triangle pattern. These represent royal patronage and the historic ties between the university and the English Crown. Some interpretations also link the crowns to the three divisions of learning prevalent in medieval universities.

Meaning & Symbolism

The overall design is a celebration of the university's core values. The open book symbolizes learning, scholarship, and the continuous pursuit of wisdom. The motto, "Dominus Illuminatio Mea," reinforces the idea of intellectual discovery being guided by a higher power. The crowns further enrich the design, symbolizing royal patronage.

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.
