Wappen Kreis Viersen (Germany) Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms (Wappen) of Kreis Viersen, a district in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The design, officially granted in 1932, is a visual representation of the region's rich past, reflecting its historical ties to prominent noble houses and ecclesiastical territories.

Heraldic Elements

The design is divided vertically, mirroring the coat of arms' structure. The left side, or "dexter," presents a black lion rampant with a red tongue and claws, set against a golden (yellow) field. This symbolizes the Duchy of Jülich, a major historical power in the area.

The right side, or "sinister," features a golden (yellow) lion rampant with red tongue and claws on a blue field, representing the Duchy of Geldern, another significant historical influence.

At the top, or "chief," a silver (white) field holds a black faceted cross. This signifies the Electorate of Cologne, highlighting the region's past governance by the Archbishopric.

Symbolism and Meaning

The overall design is a powerful statement of the district's history. The black lion on gold pays homage to the Duchy of Jülich, a foundational element of the region's feudal history. The golden lion on blue represents the Duchy of Geldern, adding to the complex tapestry of regional influence.

The black cross on silver symbolizes the authority of the Archbishopric of Cologne, reflecting the area's ecclesiastical history and the governance of the Electorate. This combination of elements speaks to the layered historical influences that have shaped the Kreis Viersen district.

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.
