USS David R. Ray DD 971 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass commemorates the USS David R. Ray (DD-971), a proud Spruance-class destroyer of the United States Navy. The design embodies the ship's legacy and the spirit of the individual it honored.

Artwork Elements

The primary visual element is a detailed depiction of the USS David R. Ray itself. The ship is rendered in a classic navy blue and gray color scheme, accurately reflecting its exterior appearance. The hull number, "DD-971," is prominently displayed, ensuring easy identification. Details like the Mk 45 gun, missile launchers and the CIWS add to the detailed design of the ship.

Meaning and Symbolism

The central focus of the design is the ship itself, representing its role as a vessel of service and defense. The inclusion of the ship’s name, USS David R. Ray, is a reminder of the brave U.S. Navy hospital corpsman awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for his heroism during the Vietnam War. This represents valor, sacrifice, and the dedication of the men and women who served aboard the ship and the values the Navy represents.

The overall design reflects the ship's significance in U.S. Naval history, its operational capabilities, and the memory of the individual it was named after.

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.
