Altamura-Gonfalone (Italy) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A vertical heraldic banner built around a horse-head shield quartered in red and silver, topped by a gold crown and carrying a Latin motto ribbon.

Visual Elements & Composition

The shield is the centre of the design and takes up most of the banner. Its quarters alternate between red and silver, giving a strong, high-contrast pattern. A gold crown sits above it, and a silver scroll runs beneath with lettering on it. The text reads "CITTÀ DI ALTAMURA" and the Latin motto "FEDERICUS ME REPARAVIT". The palette is red, silver and gold, with the banner's pole and edges shown in flat vector shapes.

Meaning & Symbolism

The shield is shaped as a horse's head, a traditional form known as the testa di cavallo, and its red and silver quarters are the civic colours of Altamura in the Puglia region of Italy. The gold crown signals the town's historical prestige. The motto refers to the town's ties to Emperor Frederick II of Swabia and translates as "Frederick restored me". The gonfalone is the ceremonial banner of the town, and the whole composition is a formal statement of civic identity.

On a Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the shield and crown are the first things the eye finds, with the scroll read at a short distance. The red and silver quarters stay sharp against the clear glass, and the motto ribbon wraps around as the glass is turned. It makes a good talking point for a home bar, or a memento for anyone who has walked the streets of Altamura or followed the story of Frederick II.

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.
