Wappen Gesellschaft zu Ober-Gerwern Shot Glass Design

This striking shot glass features the emblematic design of the Wappen (coat of arms) of the Gesellschaft zu Ober-Gerwern, a historic guild from Bern, Switzerland. The artwork showcases a powerful heraldic image, rich in symbolism and history.

Design Elements and Meaning

The central element is a formidable black lion, rendered in a "rampant" posture, standing proudly on its hind legs. This pose signifies strength and courage, a testament to the guild's historical influence.

The lion is crowned in gold, further emphasizing its status and the guild's prestige. Adding to the regal aesthetic, the lion's tongue is depicted in a vibrant red. A collar adorned with six golden bells graces the lion's neck, likely representing the guild's historic standing within Bernese society.

The lion firmly grasps a blue "Gerbermesser," a tanning knife, in its paws. The knife, with its golden handles, directly references the guild's origins as a guild of tanners and leather workers. It's a visual reminder of the craft and trade that formed the foundation of the Gesellschaft.

The backdrop is a silver (white) background. In heraldic tradition, silver often symbolizes peace and sincerity, adding another layer of meaning to the overall design.

Overall Symbolism

The Wappen design is a concise representation of the Gesellschaft zu Ober-Gerwern’s history and identity. The lion symbolizes power and nobility, while the tanning knife directly acknowledges the guild's historical profession. The design, therefore, communicates the guild's roots, its strength, and its place in the historical narrative of Bern.

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.
