Wappen Gontenschwil (Switzerland) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historic coat of arms (Wappen) of Gontenschwil, a municipality nestled in the Swiss canton of Aargau. The design is a miniature heraldic masterpiece, carefully translated onto the glass surface.

Visual Elements and Representation

The central element of the design is a majestic green fir tree, or "Tanne," firmly rooted in a green base. This vibrant tree stands tall against a pristine silver (white) background, creating a visually striking contrast. The fir tree symbolizes the local forests and the community's connection to its natural environment, a motif that has represented Gontenschwil since at least 1777.

Adding a unique touch to the design is the inclusion of two red hearts, elegantly placed at the top of the shield. This addition, implemented in 1941, serves to differentiate the Gontenschwil coat of arms from other similar designs. While the specific symbolism of the hearts isn’t widely documented beyond their differentiating function, they add a distinctive element to the overall composition.

The overall aesthetic is a harmonious blend of nature and heraldry, representing the history and identity of Gontenschwil through a concise and visually compelling design.

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.
