Van Mildert Durham (England) (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the prestigious coat of arms of Van Mildert College, a constituent college of Durham University in England. The design immediately identifies with the college's rich heritage and its strong ties to the traditions of Durham and St. Cuthbert.

The Shield

The central element is the shield, which is a vibrant red (gules) field. Two prominent silver (argent) scythe blades are crossed in an "X" formation (saltire), symbolizing the hard work and diligence associated with academia and service. At the top of the shield (in chief) is the iconic silver (argent) Cross of St. Cuthbert, a powerful symbol of faith and the patron saint of Durham, anchoring the design in its historical context.

The Crest

Above the shield, the crest offers further detail. It features a striking black (sable) castle with three towers. The castle represents strength, community, and the collegiate environment. Positioned in front of the castle is a silver (proper) penannular brooch, its ends adorned with gilded (gold) crosses of St. Cuthbert. The brooch acts as a symbol of unity and historical significance, further solidifying the connection to Durham's heritage.

Overall Symbolism

The design is a testament to the college's values and its dedication to service. The Cross of St. Cuthbert, alongside the symbolism of the scythe blades and the castle, encapsulates the spirit of Van Mildert College, its past, and its commitment to shaping future generations.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
