Badge of Nigeria 1914-1952 (Niger) Shot Glass: A Colonial Emblem

This shot glass showcases the historic Badge of Nigeria, used during the British colonial period from 1914 to 1952. The design, though technically a colonial badge and not a full coat of arms, is a striking and significant emblem of the era.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The central element is a vibrant red disc, serving as the backdrop for the badge. Overlaid on this field is a green six-pointed star, formed by two interlaced triangles, often referred to as the "Seal of Solomon." This star's origins lie in Northern Nigeria, selected by Governor-General Frederick Lugard after finding the symbol on a jug. It became a unifying symbol for the amalgamated Nigeria.

At the heart of the star sits a British crown, a direct representation of British rule and imperial authority over the colony. The word "NIGERIA," rendered in white lettering, arches beneath the crown, completing the primary visual components.

This design, a colonial badge rather than a full heraldic achievement, was prominently displayed on the colonial flag, making it a powerful symbol of the nation during this period.

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.
