Armas do Reino do Brasil (1816-1822) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the regal "Armas do Reino do Brasil" (Coat of Arms of the Kingdom of Brazil) used during the period of Portuguese rule from 1816 to 1822. The design centers around the heraldic shield, a quartered composition that speaks volumes about Brazil's place within the Portuguese monarchy.

The Shield: A Symbol of Union

The shield's design is divided into four quarters. The first and fourth quarters feature the "Quinas," five blue shields arranged in a cross, a traditional symbol of Portugal. The second and third quarters display a red border emblazoned with gold castles, representing the Kingdom of Castile, another element of the Portuguese royal arms. At the heart of the shield lies an inescutcheon, a smaller central shield. This inescutcheon showcases a green field, upon which rests a golden armillary sphere, the iconic symbol of Brazil.

Symbolism in Detail

The armillary sphere takes center stage, representing navigation, exploration, and the identity of Brazil within the Portuguese monarchy. It signifies Brazil's role in Portuguese discoveries and exploration efforts. The Quinas and castles, inherited from the Portuguese royal arms, firmly link Brazil to the Portuguese crown. Finally, the inclusion of the royal crown, often depicted atop the shield (though not necessarily present on all depictions), further reinforces Brazil's status as a kingdom within the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and the Algarves.

The design, evocative of a bygone era, provides a glimpse into the rich history of the Kingdom of Brazil, a visual embodiment of its ties to Portugal and its aspirations for the future.

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.
