1945 sw gross (Austria) (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the iconic 1945 "sw gross" rendition of the Austrian Coat of Arms, a powerful symbol of post-World War II Austria.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The design features a single-headed black eagle ("Sable") with a gold beak, claws, and a red tongue. On the eagle's breast is a shield bearing the traditional red-white-red horizontal stripes, representing the historical heartland of Austria. The eagle is adorned with a mural crown, symbolizing the middle class.

In the eagle's talons, you'll find a hammer and sickle, representing the unity of the working class and the farming community. A key addition from 1945 is the broken chains around the eagle's legs, a potent symbol of liberation from Nazi occupation and the re-establishment of Austrian sovereignty.

Symbolism and Meaning

This design is a visual testament to Austria's journey. The eagle and the red-white-red shield embody the nation's historical heritage, dating back to the early days of Austrian nationhood. The broken chains directly represent the end of Nazi rule and the dawn of a new era of freedom.

The hammer and sickle, in this context, are not a political statement, but rather a symbol of the ordinary working people of Austria – the workers and farmers. The mural crown further signifies the important role of the middle class in Austrian society.

This design represents a powerful combination of historical continuity and post-war renewal, making it a meaningful visual statement.

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.
