Shot glasses are as collectible an item as any other and one is able to store and display them in specially designed shot glass display cabinets. Deciding on the cabinet you want and the size thereof all depend on what you will be using said shot glasses for and how seriously you will be taking your collection.

Sizes of these specialized display cabinets can vary a great deal from a cabinet that is 21 to 29 inches high, 18 to 27 inches wide and 3 inches deep for the hobbyist with a small collection. Then there are larger sized cabinets for the more avid collector or commercial tavern owner that can vary from 33 to 36 inches high 24 to 30 inches wide and 3 inches deep. The design of the cabinets can vary from a short square shape perfect for placement on a home bar to taller narrower design that would be a fitting item for commercial taverns. These designs can have anything from 4 to 8 or more adjustable shelves. The shelves can be made of wood or glass and are adjustable to adapt to accommodating single or double sized neatly and attractively displayed shot class collections as well as make them easily available for use.

The materials used in the manufacture of shot glass display cabinets are mostly wood and/or glass, although steel or acrylics can also be used. The type of wood can vary, but the more attractive are the darker species such as mahogany, oak, or cherry. Lighter color, less expensive woods such as pine are available to fit any collectors color scheme and budget. The colors can vary with the use of varnish or paints to suit any taste as well.

Cabinets that are specifically made for the display of a shot glass collection should of course not be mistaken with a glass wall display cabinet. The latter are can be used to house a wider variety of items and are of course encased in glass as the housed items are not used as often if at all and therefore one does not require easy access to them. The former however provide a protective housing for a shot glass collection with the easy access that one would require when entertaining and especially in a commercial bar or tavern. There are however completely enclosed designs available as well if one is specifically looking for one.

Shot glass display cabinets do not have to be square shaped and there are a number of specialty shapes, designs, and sizes available online that will fit any taste and requirement. Home furnishing and catering stores or wholesalers as well specialty stores are a good place to begin shopping if you do not want to buy online. Depending on where you are buying your cabinets, material, or size one can expect prices varying roughly from $50 to $150.
