Athanasios Diakos 1821 (Greece) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design honours Athanasios Diakos, the Greek commander and national hero of the 1821 War of Independence, who is remembered as a martyr of that uprising.

Visual Elements & Composition

A haloed rider with a lance sits on a white horse at the centre of the composition, with a green dragon beneath the hooves. Around the emblem run two words in Greek capitals, ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΙΑ (freedom) and Η ΘΑΝΑΤΟΣ (death), set in horizontal bands. White dominates the field, with green, red and gold used as accents against the black lettering.

Meaning & Symbolism

The rider's halo, lance and dragon echo the image of Saint George, a motif that Greek artists of the period used to show a warrior fighting for faith and nation. Diakos died after the Battle of Alamana in 1821, and later painters, including Konstantinos Parthenis, celebrated him as a martyr. The pairing of freedom and death in the text reflects the price the uprising demanded.

On the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the central rider is seen at eye level as the glass is raised. The white field gives the emblem plenty of room on a curved wall, and the framing words sit neatly above and below the figure.

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.
