University of Essex Arms Shot Glass

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms of the University of Essex, a symbol rich in history and local significance.

The Shield: A Foundation of Heritage

The shield's design centers around a vibrant red field, a color known as "Gules" in heraldry. Dominating the field are three silver "seaxes," traditional Saxon short swords, arranged vertically. These seaxes are positioned with their cutting edges pointing upwards and feature golden hilts and pommels, reflecting the county of Essex and its historical ties to the East Saxons.

In the upper portion, "in chief," sits an open book depicted in its natural colors. The book’s pages are edged and bound with seven golden clasps. This representation signifies learning and scholarship, with the seven clasps alluding to the traditional seven liberal arts.

The Crest: A Symbol of Place and Wordplay

Above the shield, the crest presents a striking wyvern, a two-legged dragon-like creature, rendered in silver. The wyvern stands upon two crossed oak branches, rendered in their natural colors, with leaves and fruit.

The oak branches are "raguly," meaning they are cut off with jagged ends. The design is subtly pierced by an annulet, a silver ring. This element offers a clever visual play on the university's name, "Essex," making the connection to the university visually. The oak branches themselves refer to the local landscape, highlighting the forests and parklands found in Essex and around Colchester.

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.
