Albanian Coast Guard Ensign-1958-1992 (Albania) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design records the Albanian Coast Guard ensign as it flew from 1958 to 1992, with a black double-headed eagle and a five-pointed star on a largely white rectangular field.

Visual Elements & Composition

White fills most of the flag, so the dark emblem reads with strong contrast. The black double-headed eagle is the main figure, shown as a flat silhouette in the centre of the field. A five-pointed star and a horizontal stripe add structure, while small touches of red and green sit at the edges of the composition. The design uses no lettering or numerals, and the graphic is simple enough to read at a glance.

Meaning & Symbolism

The double-headed eagle has been Albania's central emblem for centuries, and its presence here ties the ensign to the nation's identity. The five-pointed star belongs to the communist-era visual language of the period, when the ensign was in use. The Coast Guard operated as a branch of the Albanian navy, enforcing maritime law, carrying out search and rescue, and guarding territorial waters. The ensign therefore records a specific chapter of Albanian naval history, from the late 1950s until the emblem was redesigned after 1992.

Seen Up Close on a Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the eagle and star are viewed at near range as the glass is lifted. The white field lets the black emblem stand out against the clear glass, and the simple layout suits a surface that is turned in the hand.

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.
