University College Durham (England) (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms of University College, Durham, a symbol rich in history and meaning. The design is a miniature representation of the college's heraldic achievement.

Visual Elements and Symbolic Representation

The primary visual element is a deep blue (Azure) field, the backdrop for the central design. Dominating the center is a radiant gold (Or) cross patonce, its arms broadening and culminating in three splayed points. This gold cross, taken directly from the arms of the Diocese of Durham, signifies the college’s Christian roots and its strong connection to the bishopric.

Positioned around the cross are four silver/white (Argent) lions rampant, each standing powerfully on its hind legs. These lions, also drawn from the Diocese of Durham’s symbolism, represent courage, strength, and nobility, acting as guardians and emphasizing the college's protective and authoritative role.

At the top, a silver/white band (chief) provides a contrasting backdrop for a black (Sable) Cross of St Cuthbert, a significant symbol of Durham, representing the historical and spiritual link to St Cuthbert and the Cathedral. Flanking the cross are two vibrant red (Gules) Durham mitres, which represent the bishops of Durham, honoring the college's religious origins and leadership.

Finally, the design is complemented by the college's motto, "Non nobis solum," meaning "Not for ourselves alone," which speaks to the college's philosophy of community service and duty beyond oneself, perfectly encapsulated in this elegant design.

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.
