University of the West of Scotland Shot Glass: A Heraldic Display

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms of the University of the West of Scotland, a symbol of its rich history, values, and global outlook. The design is a miniature rendition of the official heraldic emblem granted in 2017 by the Lord Lyon King of Arms.

Central Elements and Their Meanings

At the heart of the design are key elements representing the university's core principles. Two torches, crossed in saltire, dominate the center, signifying enlightenment, knowledge, and the pursuit of learning. Above the torches, an open book symbolizes education and the dissemination of knowledge, while a bell at the base represents the call to learning and the awakening of the mind.

A terrestrial globe, positioned centrally, reflects the university's global perspective and international reach, highlighting its commitment to a worldwide academic community. All these elements are enclosed within a wreath of holly and laurel.

Symbolism in Detail

The holly and laurel wreath that encircles the central components adds further layers of meaning. The holly represents endurance and resilience, embodying the university's enduring strength. The laurel signifies achievement and honor, reflecting the university's commitment to excellence and recognition of academic success.

The Crest

The design incorporates the crest of the coat of arms, a mitre. This mitre, atop the wreath, subtly alludes to the university's ecclesiastical heritage and historical connections to the Church of Scotland.

This shot glass is a powerful visual representation of the University of the West of Scotland's identity, history, and commitment to academic pursuits.

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.
