Wapen La Roche-en-Ardenne (Belgium) Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass showcases the historic coat of arms, or "wapen," of La Roche-en-Ardenne, Belgium. The design is a vibrant and symbolic representation of the town's heritage and historical connections.

The Escutcheon: A Canvas of History

The primary element is a shield, known in heraldry as an escutcheon. Its background is a striking red ("gules"), providing a bold foundation for the central design. This color choice, along with other elements, carries historical significance.

The Argent Lion: A Symbol of Royalty and Bohemia

Dominating the shield is a silver ("argent") lion, its forked tail (queue fourchée) a distinctive feature. This lion represents the Bohemian lion, connecting La Roche-en-Ardenne to John the Blind, King of Bohemia, and, by extension, the historical County of Luxembourg. The lion is a powerful symbol of strength and royal lineage.

The Blue Label: A Mark of Distinction

Overlaying the lion is a blue three-pointed label ("lambel"). While labels often denote cadency, in this coat of arms, it is a key component of the original grant, serving as a symbolic reminder of La Roche-en-Ardenne's historical ties and origin.

A Legacy of Courage: The Croix de Guerre

The design, although not explicitly shown, acknowledges the town's bravery during World War II with the inclusion of the Croix de Guerre 1940 (War Cross) with palm. This decoration, awarded in 1951, recognizes the town’s extraordinary courage.

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.
