University of St Andrews Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms of the University of St Andrews, Scotland, officially matriculated in 1905. The design is a striking visual representation of the university's rich heritage and academic legacy.

The Shield: A Visual Breakdown

The shield itself is divided by a saltire (an X-shaped cross) into four sections. The saltire is a nod to the Saltire of Scotland, providing a visual link to the university’s location and history. The background is composed of alternating colors, silver/white (Argent) and blue (Azure).

The top section (chief) features a band of red (Gules). Within this band sits a reversed silver crescent, representing Pope Benedict XIII, a key figure in the university's founding. Flanking the crescent are two gold hollow lozenges (mascles), taken from the arms of Bishop Henry Wardlaw, another founder of the university.

In the top section of the main shield (chief) is an open book in its natural colors, a classic symbol of learning and scholarship. The bottom section (base) displays a red (Gules) lion rampant, derived from the Royal Arms of Scotland and signifying royal authority, specifically King James I, who was involved in the foundation.

Symbolism Woven into the Design

Every element of this design carries significance. The lion rampant represents royal authority. The reversed crescent symbolizes the papal bull that founded the university. The gold mascles commemorate Bishop Henry Wardlaw, and the open book celebrates the world of learning.

This meticulously designed Coat of Arms is a testament to the University of St Andrews' long and prestigious history, making this shot glass a perfect collectible.

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.
