Wappen Landkreis Schmalkalden-Meiningen (Germany) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms (Wappen) of the Landkreis Schmalkalden-Meiningen, a region in Thuringia, Germany. The design is a powerful testament to the district's historical unity, achieved through the merging of two significant former districts.

A Quartered Shield: A Story in Two Parts

The artwork centers on a quartered shield, which is divided into two distinct halves, each representing a crucial part of the district's heritage. This visual structure immediately signals the amalgamation of Schmalkalden and Meiningen into a unified administrative area.

The Upper Half: Schmalkalden's Lion

The upper portion of the shield features a striking black lion emblazoned upon a golden (yellow) background. This majestic lion is a heraldic representation of the Counts of Henneberg, who historically held sway over the region of Schmalkalden. The bold color contrast of the black lion against the golden field creates a visually arresting image, evoking power and historical significance.

The Lower Half: Meiningen's Lion

The lower section of the design displays a blue lion on a silver (white) background. This noble creature represents the Dukes of Saxe-Meiningen, the historical rulers of the Meiningen area. The blue lion, often depicted with a red tongue and claws, provides a visual connection to the ducal family and their heritage. The placement of the blue lion on a silver backdrop further enhances the design's elegant and historical appeal.

Overall Symbolism

The artwork serves as a compelling visual narrative. The juxtaposition of the two lions โ€“ the black lion of Henneberg and the blue lion of Saxe-Meiningen โ€“ underscores the historical origins and the modern-day unity of Landkreis Schmalkalden-Meiningen. This design is a proud display of the region's rich history, represented in its heraldic symbols.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
