University of Wales (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass

This shot glass showcases the distinguished Coat of Arms of the University of Wales, a symbol rich in history and meaning.

The Shield

At the heart of the design lies the shield. It features a silver/white (Argent) field, bisected by a dark red-purple (Murrey) horizontal band known as a fesse. Upon this fesse are three golden (Or) medieval lamps, representing the three founding colleges of the University, acknowledging the institution's origins.

The shield is further adorned by a border (bordure) of the same dark red-purple (Murrey) color. This border is charged with eight golden (Or) stars (mullets), each representing an element of the original University Court, the founding governing body.

The Crest

Above the shield, the crest presents a winged red dragon (Gules) in a standing position (statant), a potent symbol of Wales itself. The dragon rests its right claw upon an open book rendered in its natural color (proper). The open book is inscribed with the Welsh motto "Goreu Awen Gwirionedd," meaning "The Best Inspiration is Truth," underscoring the University's commitment to knowledge and the pursuit of truth.

Symbolism and Meaning

The overall design is a testament to the university's commitment to higher education and its Welsh heritage. The lamps on the fesse represent the university's origins, and the stars in the border represent its founding governing body. The dragon proudly displays its heritage, while the book and motto highlight the importance of learning and academic truth. The coat of arms, as a whole, embodies the rich history and values of the University of Wales.

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.
