Zaanstad Wapen 1974 HRvA (Netherlands) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the heraldic design of the Zaanstad coat of arms, officially recognized in 1974. The artwork centers around a visually striking arrangement of color and form, rooted in the history of the Zaan region in the Netherlands.

Design Elements & Representation

The primary element is the shield, quartered into four distinct sections. Each quarter features a lion, the heraldic animal representing power and courage. Two quarters have a red background (gules) with a silver lion, while the other two display a silver background (argent) with a red lion. This arrangement symbolizes the merging of different municipalities, known as "banne," into the Zaanstad area.

Flanking the shield are two whales, depicted in their natural color, with their tails pointed upwards. These majestic creatures directly reference the Zaan region's historical whaling industry, a significant element of its heritage.

The base of the design is an ornamental scrollwork, known as an arabesque, in green (vert). This decorative element grounds the composition and may symbolize the local landscape or represent the ongoing growth and prosperity of Zaanstad.

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.
