University of York Coat of Arms Shot Glass - Design Description

Visual Overview

This shot glass showcases the prestigious coat of arms of the University of York, a symbol steeped in tradition and meaning. The design is a miniature rendition of the full heraldic achievement, a visual feast of carefully chosen elements.

Shield Elements

The primary focus is the shield, a canvas of azure (blue) upon which a chevron ermine (a white, V-shaped band patterned with black ermine spots) is displayed. Within the chevron rest three gold books, each positioned horizontally and adorned with downward-hanging clasps. This central composition immediately establishes the academic nature of the institution.

Crest and Symbolic Details

Above the shield, the crest takes form: a gold and blue wreath (torse) supporting a mural crown, resembling a silver "city wall" with black masonry. Rising from the crown are two crossed keys, one gold and one silver, with their wards facing outwards. These keys, powerful symbols, are surmounted by a white rose, a traditional emblem of Yorkshire, the region in which the university resides. The rose features green barbs and seeds.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design speaks volumes. The books represent the core mission of the university: learning, scholarship, and the pursuit of knowledge. The chevron ermine, a classic heraldic fur, hints at academic tradition. The keys suggest access to knowledge, acting as gateways to learning. The mural crown underscores institutional strength, and possibly hints at the university's ties to the city of York. Finally, the white rose proudly proclaims the university’s Yorkshire connection. This is a visual embodiment of "At the threshold of wisdom," captured within a single, elegant design.

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.
