Volken-blazon (Switzerland) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the striking coat of arms of Volken, a municipality nestled in the canton of Zürich, Switzerland. The design is a vibrant representation of the town's rich agricultural heritage, rendered in classic heraldic style.

A Crimson Shield

The background of the design is a bold field of red, known in heraldry as "gules." This vibrant color serves as a strong foundation, drawing the eye to the central elements of the coat of arms.

The Tools of the Trade

At the heart of the design, a silver ploughshare, "argent," points downward. This symbol of tillage and farming represents the community's historical connection to agriculture and the cultivation of the land.

Flanking the ploughshare are two silver sickles, also "argent," with handles rendered in gleaming gold, or "or." The sickles, turned inward towards the center, are symbolic of grape harvesting, and highlight the significance of viticulture, or winemaking, to the history of Volken.

Symbolism and Meaning

The arrangement of these elements reflects Volken's dual focus: the cultivation of crops through farming, and the special connection to viticulture. The ploughshare and sickles together represent the community's agricultural past and continuing connection to the land.

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.
