Afsharid Imperial Standard 3 Stripes (Iran) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reduces the Afsharid imperial standard to three bold stripes in red, white and blue, a minimalist rendering of a banner used in mid-eighteenth-century Iran.

Visual Elements & Composition

White takes up the largest share of the field, with red and a medium blue sharing the rest in clean, flat bands. The stripes are angled and tapered, so the eye moves across the design rather than resting on a single motif. There is no text or figure to read, which leaves the colour sequence and the banner's simple geometry to carry the image.

Meaning & Symbolism

The standard dates to around 1736, when Nader Shah was rising to power. The choice of colours was deliberate: Nader Shah set green aside to distance his regime from the Safavid dynasty, which was closely tied to Shia Islam, and to present a more inclusive stance toward Sunni supporters. Stripped back to three colours, the design speaks of military authority and of a political transition.

In the Hand at the Bar

A 1.5oz shot glass is small and is raised close to the face, so the stripes fill the view at the moment of a toast. The clean lines suit the form of the glass, and each pour carries a piece of eighteenth-century Iranian history.

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.
