Wapen Westmalle (Belgium) Coat of Arms Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass showcases the heraldic artistry of the Wapen van Westmalle, the coat of arms representing the Belgian municipality of Westmalle. The design, revised in 1914, is a visually complex and historically rich emblem.

The Quarterly Composition

The central element of the design is a quartered shield. This means the shield is divided into four distinct sections, or "quarters," each bearing its own unique imagery and symbolism. This division reflects the intertwining of local history and the influence of powerful families.

Quarters 1 & 4: The Cottereau Heritage

The first and fourth quarters present a striking representation of the Cottereau family's arms. A deep blue field serves as the backdrop, upon which a graceful silver (white) chevron is prominently displayed. Above and below the chevron, three majestic golden roosters are poised. Their details are meticulously crafted: their beaks, combs, wattles, claws, and legs are rendered in vibrant red, adding a dynamic touch of color and vitality. The positioning of the roosters, with the two upper ones facing inward, suggests a sense of mutual defense or familial unity.

Quarters 2 & 3: Echoes of Dammartin

The second and third quarters introduce a contrasting design. They feature a pattern of alternating horizontal stripes of silver (white) and blue. A bold, solid red border frames this section. This distinct visual element pays homage to the Dammartin family, whose connections or claims were significant enough to be included in the municipal arms.

Symbolism and Meaning

The coat of arms, as a whole, is a testament to the history of Westmalle. The inclusion of the Cottereau arms, with their vibrant roosters, is a direct nod to the family's lordship over the area. The incorporation of the Dammartin arms in the second and third quarters further illustrates the complex tapestry of historical allegiances and influences that shaped the community. The overall design offers a blend of regal colors, intricate details, and a glimpse into the region's historical narrative.

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.
