Vals Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historic coat of arms of Vals, a municipality in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. The design is a vibrant representation of the town's heritage, meticulously rendered in its heraldic detail.

Visual Breakdown

The design is divided horizontally, presenting two distinct fields. The upper half, or "chief," gleams in radiant gold. Across this golden field runs a striking diagonal stripe, known as a "bend," in black. This bend is not a simple stripe; it is "couped," meaning cut off at the ends, "embattled" with a battlement pattern, and “bretesse” with small projections.

The lower half, or "base," is a field of stark black. Dominating this field is a golden key, placed diagonally in the same direction as the black bend. The key's "wards," or toothed portion, are oriented inwards, toward the center of the design.

Symbolism and Meaning

The prominent golden key is an attribute of Saint Peter, reflecting the historical connection to the parish of Vals. The black bend, with its embattled design, is a powerful symbol of the historical rights of the barony of Belmont, dating back to the 13th century. This design beautifully intertwines religious significance with the area’s rich historical past.

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.
