Västra Götaland Vapen Shot Glass - Design Details

This shot glass showcases the intricate and historically rich design of the Västra Götaland vapen, the coat of arms for the Västra Götaland County in Sweden.

Design Overview

The artwork replicates the heraldic shield, a quartered design that symbolizes the merging of three historical counties: Älvsborg, Göteborg och Bohus, and Skaraborg. Each quarter presents a distinct emblem, combining these regions into a unified symbol of the modern administrative unit.

Detailed Elements

The first quarter, positioned at the top left, features a golden lion rampant (standing on its hind legs) against a black field, representing the historical Älvsborg County. The top right quarter displays a lion holding a sword and wearing a crown on a blue field, symbolizing Gothenburg and Bohus County. The bottom left quarter presents a golden lion with red claws on a red field, representing Skaraborg County. The fourth quarter likely contains either repeated motifs or combined symbols to further unify the design. Above the shield, the Swedish royal crown signifies the county's official status.

Symbolism

The prominent use of lions throughout the design represents courage, strength, and vigilance. The colors are also symbolic: gold embodies generosity, red symbolizes the warrior spirit, and blue stands for loyalty and truth. The act of quartering the shield represents the fusion of the historical territories into the current Västra Götaland County, visually representing the unity of the area.

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.
