Wapen van Wormer (Netherlands) (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the striking coat of arms of the former municipality of Wormer, a unique and historically significant design from the Zaanstreek region of North Holland, Netherlands.

Visual Elements and Representation

The central and defining element of the artwork is a golden (yellow) bearded male head. This head is crowned with a prominent red crown of thorns, a powerful symbol within heraldry. The head is set against a deep blue (azure) background, which serves to make the golden head and red crown stand out even more.

Meaning and Symbolism

The "man's head" or "crowned head" design is the identifying characteristic of the Wormer coat of arms. The precise identity of the crowned head is a subject of historical debate, lending the design an air of mystery and intrigue. Several interpretations exist, each adding a layer of symbolic meaning:

  • It could represent a West Frisian nobleman, presented to Count Floris V.
  • It may symbolize Christ, with the crown of thorns representing his sacrifice.
  • Some believe it depicts Saint Odulphus, the parish's patron saint.
  • Alternatively, it could commemorate a Spanish officer beheaded during the Eighty Years' War.

This iconic design, with its rich history and enigmatic origins, makes this shot glass a fascinating piece of visual storytelling.

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.
