Adélard Godbout Canadian Flag Proposal 1947 (Canada) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A diagonal red and white field with a single green maple leaf at its centre recreates the 1947 flag proposal put forward by Adélard Godbout, a design that was never adopted as Canada's national flag.

Visual Elements & Composition

The flag is divided on a diagonal running from the upper hoist to the lower fly. Red fills the top half and white the bottom, giving the design a bold, geometric energy. The maple leaf is centred on the join, drawn in green with dark red veins and stem, and it is the one strong focal point in an otherwise plain, high-contrast layout.

Meaning & Symbolism

Adélard Godbout, a former Premier of Quebec, proposed the flag in 1947. The maple leaf is the central emblem of the design, set against a red and white field that gives the proposal its clear identity. The design served as the emblem of the League of the Canadian Flag, and it remains an important artefact of Canadian vexillological history, a record of a mid-century debate about national identity.

Made for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the diagonal split and the leaf read clearly as the glass is lifted to the eye. The sharp edge where red meets white sits right across the glass, and the centred leaf catches the light when set on a bar. Raised for a toast, the proposal becomes a conversation piece about a flag that might have been.

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.
