Västra Götalands Läns Vapen Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass showcases the intricate and historically rich coat of arms of Västra Götaland County (Västra Götalands län) in Sweden. The design is a vibrant representation of the region's diverse past, brought together through a compelling heraldic composition.

A Quartered Shield: A Tapestry of History

The central element is a quartered shield, dividing the design into four distinct sections, each representing a key province and area within the county. This strategic arrangement is a visual testament to the unification of these historically independent entities.

The Emblems of Identity

The first quarter is emblazoned with the arms of Gothenburg, featuring a powerful crowned lion, clutching a sword and shield, symbols of strength and civic pride. Next, the second quarter presents the Bohuslän arms; a formidable red castle with a golden door and windows, representing the province.

The third section showcases the Dalsland arms with a bold red bull, positioned in "courtoisie"—its head turned toward the center of the shield—a dynamic heraldic pose. Finally, the fourth quarter features the Västergötland arms: a black and gold lion, complete with red claws and tongue, and accompanied by two silver stars.

Symbolism and Meaning

The coat of arms, as a whole, embodies the union of distinct regions and their unique histories. Each element within the shield contributes a narrative of its own, from the lion's dominance to the castle's endurance and the bull's determination. This design encapsulates the essence of Västra Götaland County, a symbol of its cultural heritage and administrative authority.

Crowned Majesty

The design may be presented with a crown on top of the shield. When crowned, it signifies the official emblem of Västra Götaland County, conveying the administrative authority and the formal recognition of the region.

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.
