Wappen vom Landkreis Zwickau Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the heraldic artistry of the Landkreis Zwickau, a district in Saxony, Germany. The design is a miniature masterpiece, faithfully reproducing the official coat of arms adopted on September 30, 2009.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The artwork is divided into two distinct halves, or "per pale," just like the original coat of arms. The left side (dexter) features a majestic lion rampant, a symbol deeply rooted in the region's history.

The lion is uniquely divided "per fess" into gold (Or) and silver (Argent), a visual representation of its importance. Its red claws and tongue (armed and langued Gules) highlight its strength and regal bearing, qualities befitting a historical figure.

The right side (sinister) of the design presents a series of three diagonal stripes, known as "bends sinister." These stripes alternate between red (Gules) and silver (Argent), directly referencing the arms of the influential County of Schönburg. They represent the Schönburg noble family's historical impact on the Zwickau area.

A Tribute to History

Together, these elements on the shot glass encapsulate the rich history of the Landkreis Zwickau. The lion commemorates the Pleißner Herrschaft, while the bends pay homage to the Schönburgs. The design is a powerful visual reminder of the district's feudal past and its evolution into the modern region it is today.

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.
