Air Force Ensign of Rhodesia 1964-1970 Shot Glass 1.5oz

This flat vector design reproduces the Air Force ensign used in Rhodesia between 1964 and 1970, with a Union Jack canton, a concentric roundel and a white spear on a slate teal field.

Visual Elements & Composition

Slate teal covers most of the artwork, giving the ensign a muted, mid-century tone. The Union Jack sits in the canton, with navy and red carried through its arms. A concentric roundel takes the centre, its rings of white, red and navy building outward from the middle. A white spear with a brown shaft crosses the roundel, and the whole layout is measured and symmetrical, with clean edges and solid fills.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Union Jack in the canton recalls the territory's ties to Britain during the years this ensign was in use. The roundel is the standard form of aviation insignia, and the spear is a traditional African weapon that became a recognised emblem of the country's air arm. The design captures a specific window of history, from 1964 to 1970, in the territory now known as Zimbabwe. It is a document of that period's military heraldry rather than a current national flag.

On the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the roundel sits directly in view as the glass is lifted and the spear draws the eye upward. The curve of the glass wall suits the concentric rings, which read as a single target from any side. The slate teal ground keeps the red, white and navy distinct from every angle at the bar.

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.
