Wappen VG Altenkirchen (Germany) (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms of the Verbandsgemeinde Altenkirchen, a collective municipality in the German region of Rhineland-Palatinate. The design is a vibrant representation of the area's rich historical tapestry, a visual testament to its past.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The artwork is dominated by a shield, elegantly divided horizontally. The top portion, the "chief," is rendered in a radiant gold color, emblazoned with a bold, scarlet red cross. This cross pays homage to the historical influence of the Archbishopric of Cologne, whose ecclesiastical authority once held sway over the Altenkirchen region. The red cross against the gold background is a powerful symbol of Cologne's legacy.

The lower half of the shield, the "base," features a striking contrast. Against a deep, azure blue field, a silver lion rampantly strides. This majestic lion, with its red tongue and claws, represents the Counts of Sayn, a noble family who held territorial power in the area. The lion is a symbol of strength and governance.

The design adheres to traditional German heraldic conventions, using the chosen colors and charges (shapes/figures) to convey specific meanings. The placement and arrangement of these elements provide a clear visual narrative of the region's historical roots, blending ecclesiastical and secular influences into a unified and symbolic image.

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.
