19th century Faroese flag Shot Glass 1.5oz

A flat, red-dominant banner from the Faroe Islands, built around a Faroese ram and the tjaldur, the islands' national bird.

Visual Elements & Composition

Red fills most of the field, with blue, a touch of grey and a small patch of gold carrying the rest of the palette. The layout is a single rectangle with the two emblems placed at the centre, so the composition stays uncluttered and heraldic. Shapes are simple and solid, with no lettering, which keeps the image readable at a small scale.

Meaning & Symbolism

The ram, Veðrur, stands for the heritage of the islands, while the tjaldur, the Eurasian Oystercatcher, is the national bird. The banner was created in the 19th century to promote the Faroese language and to strengthen national identity during the national awakening. It was never formally adopted, because the Danish flag, Dannebrog, remained the official banner of the period. The national flag, Merkið, was not designed until 1919.

Made for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the two emblems are seen at near range, one quick look before the drink is taken. The bold red and blue read clearly at that scale, and the image wraps the full circle of the glass, so the ram and the oystercatcher appear whichever way the glass is turned.

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.
