VOC-Amsterdam (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a powerful emblem of historical significance, the VOC-Amsterdam corporate/chamber seal. The design is a bold statement of Amsterdam's crucial role in the Dutch East India Company (VOC) during the Dutch Golden Age.

Central Imagery: The VOC Monogram

At the heart of the design lies the iconic VOC monogram. The intertwined letters, V, O, and C, represent the company's Dutch name, "Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie." This monogram is a direct link to the very identity of the VOC, a symbol of its global reach and trading dominance.

The Amsterdam Shield & Imperial Crown

The VOC monogram is placed upon the Amsterdam City Shield, a powerful symbol of local identity. The Shield features a red field, and a black vertical band with three white St. Andrew's crosses. The shield is traditionally topped with the imperial crown, symbolizing Amsterdam's influential status and the privileges it held.

Symbolism and Meaning

The combined imagery is rich in meaning. It celebrates Amsterdam’s central role as the primary financial and logistical hub of the VOC. The design conveys the company’s legal authority, its operational power, and its profound impact on global trade.

This design serves as a visual testament to the VOC's historic significance, and Amsterdam's dominant position within it.

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.
