Air Force Ensign of Burma 1948-1974 (Myanmar) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This shot glass reproduces the Burmese Air Force ensign of 1948 to 1974, built on the national flag of the Union of Burma with a blue canton of white stars.

Visual Elements & Composition

The design is organised around a blue canton, set against a red field, with the stars arranged within the canton. A single large white five-pointed star sits at the centre, surrounded by five smaller white stars. The palette is limited to red, blue and white, which gives the ensign a crisp, graphic clarity. The stars are the only detail, so their placement carries the composition, and the flat vector forms keep each point sharp at small size.

Meaning & Symbolism

The layout comes from the national flag of the Union of Burma, adopted in 1948 after the constitution of that year. The large star stands for the Union itself, and the five smaller stars represent the five main ethnic groups of the country, the Burmese, Shan, Karen, Chin and Kachin. White, the colour of the stars, was taken to signify honesty. The air force version carries that national emblem into the service, so the ensign speaks to a mid-century national identity and the military that served it.

A Canton Seen Up Close

A shot glass is small and held close, so the blue canton is taken in from the rim as the glass is raised, and the central star comes into focus first. The five smaller stars are picked out as the glass turns in the hand. The design is compact and centred, and it reads most clearly at the close range that a small glass allows.

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.
