Wappen Landkreis Hildesheim Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass showcases the iconic coat of arms (Wappen) of the Landkreis Hildesheim, a district in Lower Saxony, Germany. The design is a powerful visual representation of the region's rich history and the confluence of its key governing influences.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The artwork is boldly divided in half, a heraldic technique known as "per pale," immediately highlighting the dual heritage of the region. On the viewer's right (dexter side), a prominent silver cross stands out against a rich red background (Gules). This emblem is a direct reference to the historic Prince-Bishopric of Hildesheim, representing the area's deep-rooted ecclesiastical and cultural heritage.

The left side (sinister) presents a striking contrast. Two blue lions, depicted in a "passant guardant" pose (walking with their heads facing forward), are set against a golden background (Or). These lions, armed and langued in red (Gules), are derived from the coat of arms of the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg, representing the secular power and Welf influence that historically shaped the region.

Historical Significance

The design effectively tells the story of the long-standing coexistence and eventual unification of spiritual and secular territories within the Hildesheim region. The combination of the Bishopric's cross and the Welf lions symbolizes the merging of church and state influences over many centuries, a core aspect of the district's formation and identity.

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.
