Witterswil-blazon (Switzerland) (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate heraldry of Witterswil, a municipality in the Swiss canton of Solothurn. The design is a miniature masterpiece of symbolic representation, drawing on local history and religious significance.

A Divided Shield

The central element is a shield, expertly divided to convey multiple layers of meaning. The shield is split both vertically (per pale) and horizontally (per fess), creating a four-part design. The left side (per pale) is characterized by a golden (Or) field with a prominent black horizontal band (fess) across its center. The right side (per fess) is divided, the upper half crimson red (Gules) and the lower half bright white (Argent).

The Wheel of Saint Catherine

Overlaid upon these contrasting divisions is the striking centerpiece: a semi-wheel of St. Catherine. This represents the patron saint of Witterswil and is traditionally depicted as a spiked wheel, a symbol of her martyrdom. The "dimidiated" nature of the wheel suggests that only the half visible is displayed, centered above the shield's horizontal and vertical boundaries. This unique juxtaposition of colors, shapes, and historical symbols makes for a truly compelling design.

Combined Heritage

The design skillfully combines elements from the coats of arms of the Lords of Rotberg and the Canton of Solothurn, demonstrating a blending of local history. The horizontal band (fess) on the left hints at the Rotberg family coat of arms. The red and white division comes from the Solothurn canton itself. The entire composition is a symbolic narrative etched in miniature. The central semi-wheel completes the story, a visual reminder of the town’s patron saint.

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.
