Zaanstad Wapen 1974 VNG Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the official Zaanstad coat of arms, the VNG-standardized version used for official purposes by the municipality of Zaanstad, Netherlands.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The design features a heraldic shield divided into four quarters. Each quarter prominently displays a lion, alternating between red and silver backgrounds. The lions themselves are of contrasting colors: in the red quarters, silver lions are depicted, while in the silver quarters, red lions appear. The lions' tongues and claws also alternate in color.

Above the shield, a decorative green arabesque adorns the design, a characteristic element often seen in Dutch municipal coats of arms.

Meaning and Symbolism

The four lions represent the six former municipalities that merged to form Zaanstad in 1974. This quartering of the shield symbolizes the combined heritage of Koog aan de Zaan, Krommenie, Westzaan, Wormerveer, Zaandam, and Zaandijk, unified under one municipal identity.

The colors carry traditional heraldic meanings. Red symbolizes courage and valor, silver represents purity and peace, while gold signifies prosperity and wealth. The arabesque emphasizes the official status and the rich heritage of the region.

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.
