Worcester College Oxford Coat Of Arms Shot Glass: Design & Symbolism

This shot glass showcases the historic coat of arms of Worcester College, Oxford, a visual emblem steeped in tradition and meaning. The design centers around a shield, the core element of heraldic representation.

The Shield's Elements

The shield's field is rendered in silver, or "Argent" in heraldic terms. Dominating the design are two red "chevronels", inverted V-shapes that add a sense of structure and lineage. Interspersed between and beneath these, are six "martlets" - stylized birds without feet. These martlets are colored black, or "Sable," and are arranged in a specific pattern: three across the top, two in the middle, and one at the bottom.

Symbolism and Meaning

The coat of arms is derived from the personal heraldry of Sir Thomas Cookes, a key benefactor of the college. The chevronels, in heraldry, often represent support and protection, while the martlets are typically associated with travel and migration, perhaps referencing the journeys of scholars. The precise significance of each element is open to interpretation, reflecting the rich history and character of Worcester College.

The overall design is a testament to the college's founding and its connection to Sir Thomas Cookes, and embodies the spirit of history and scholarship.

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.
