University of St Andrews Arms Shot Glass Design

Visual Description

This shot glass features the elegant Coat of Arms of the University of St Andrews, a symbol rich in history and meaning. The central design element is the shield, meticulously crafted with a distinctive pattern.

The Shield: A Detailed Look

The shield's foundation is a saltire, an X-shaped cross dividing it into four segments. These segments alternate between silver/white (Argent) and blue (Azure), reflecting Scotland's national colors and the St Andrew's cross. In the top section, you'll find an open book in its natural colors, symbolizing the pursuit of knowledge and learning.

The bottom segment proudly displays a red lion rampant (standing on one hind leg), a powerful emblem drawn from the Royal Arms of Scotland, referencing King James I's role in the university's foundation. Across the top, or "chief" of the shield, is a red band. Upon this band are key elements: a reversed crescent (inverted moon shape) in silver/white, recalling Peter de Luna (Pope Benedict XIII) and his crucial support for the University. Flanking the crescent are two gold hollow lozenges, known as mascles, taken from the arms of Bishop Henry Wardlaw, the university's founder.

Full Achievement Embellishments

Completing the design is the full achievement, which includes additional elements. The crest includes an apple tree along with the boar of St Andrews. Two supporters are represented: St Andrew, holding his iconic cross, and a lion, adding strength and symbolic weight to the composition. This design captures the essence of the University's heritage and its commitment to excellence.

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.
