Wapen Benthuizen (Netherlands) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historic coat of arms of Benthuizen, a former municipality in the Netherlands. The design is a striking visual representation of the area's rich heritage.

Design Elements

The shield is divided horizontally, with a top half in argent (silver/white) and a bottom half in gules (red). Arranged within this divided space are nine rectangular blocks, known as billets. The billets are meticulously placed in three rows of three.

Symbolism and Meaning

The arrangement is "counterchanged," meaning the colors alternate between the two halves of the shield. This creates a visually dynamic effect where the color of the billets switches between silver and red, top to bottom. The nine billets directly reference the nine turfs found on the coat of arms of the influential Oem van Wijngaarden family, who once held lordship over Benthuizen.

The counterchanging of colors is significant. It symbolizes the merging and union of different noble lineages, a visual testament to the history of the area.

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.
