Ushaw College Durham (England) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historic coat of arms of Ushaw College, Durham, a symbol rich in heritage and symbolism. The design is split vertically, presenting two distinct halves known as "per pale" in heraldic terms.

Dexter Side: The College's Legacy

The left side of the design, from the viewer's perspective, features a silver (Argent) field emblazoned with a bold red cross (Cross Gules). In the upper corner, a blue square (Canton Azure) holds a detailed representation of the Cross of St. Cuthbert, rendered in its authentic colors. The red cross is often interpreted as a tribute to the English Roman Catholic Martyrs, while the Cross of St. Cuthbert represents the college’s patron saint.

Sinister Side: Lineage and Founder

The right side of the design "impales" the coat of arms of the Allen family, a connection to the college’s founder, William Allen. Against a silver background, three black rabbits (couched in pale Sable) are arranged vertically. These rabbits, also known as coneys, are a direct reference to the Allen family arms, representing the lineage and origins of the English College, Douai, from which Ushaw's roots stem.

A Harmonious Blend

The overall design is a sophisticated blend of religious and historical symbolism. It reflects the college’s deep Catholic faith, its connection to the English Martyrs, and its familial connection to its founder. This design serves as a lasting tribute to the rich heritage of Ushaw College, Durham.

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.
