宮内省消防科徽章(銅) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a unique and historically significant design, the "宮内省消防科徽章(銅)" (Kunai-shō Fire-Brigade Badge, bronze). This emblem, rather than being a national coat of arms, served as the distinctive insignia for the fire department unit within the pre-World War II Japanese Ministry of the Imperial Household (Kunai-shō).

Design Elements and Symbolism

The artwork featured on this shot glass embodies the spirit of firefighting. While the specific details of the badge's design are unique, its overall theme aligns with common Japanese fire service symbolism. Expect to see elements reflecting water, unity, and the tools of firefighting.

The design does not incorporate Japan's national crest (the chrysanthemum) but instead focuses on a fire-service emblem with motifs representing the core components of firefighting. Common motifs in firefighting include snow crystal shapes, water hoses, nozzles, and water streams.

The design, being derived from a fire-brigade badge, provides insight into the values and functions of the fire-brigade unit which served to protect Imperial properties during the Meiji era.

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.
