Arms of the House of Bentivoglio of Bologna: Shot Glass Design

This striking shot glass design showcases the iconic coat of arms of the House of Bentivoglio, a prominent family that ruled Bologna during the Renaissance. The artwork captures the essence of their heraldic legacy, presenting a visually compelling emblem of power and civic pride.

Heraldic Elements

The design prominently features the shield, the central element of the Bentivoglio arms. It's bisected diagonally, reflecting the family's dual identity and connection to the city.

Color and Composition

The upper field of the shield is rendered in gold (or) and emblazoned with a bold red cross (gules), a clear homage to Bologna's civic colors and its historical ties to the Guelph faction. This section underscores the family's position within the city and their alignment with established traditions.

The lower field is a rich blue (azure), providing a contrasting backdrop. This section often featured a golden chain, which is hinted at here, or small devices, symbolizing the family's nobility and influence.

Symbolism

The combination of these elements speaks volumes. The golden cross and red field represent Bologna's heritage, while the blue field and possible details acknowledge the Bentivoglio family's distinct identity and status as rulers. The artwork, in its simplicity and elegance, encapsulates the blend of civic allegiance and noble distinction, which was at the core of the Bentivoglio legacy.

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.
