Badge of Sierra Leone (1889-1914) Shot Glass: Design Description

This shot glass showcases a historical emblem of the Sierra Leone Colony and Protectorate, the Badge of Sierra Leone, used from 1889 to 1914. The design is a snapshot of colonial-era symbolism.

Key Visual Elements

The central figure is a gray elephant, a common representation of strength and the wildlife found in the region. Positioned alongside the elephant is a palm tree, signifying the local flora and possibly the economic significance of palm products within the colony.

The design is completed by a horizon, featuring hills or mountains, and a foreground depicted as grassy terrain. The background often shows a colorful sky, creating a dynamic visual effect, possibly suggestive of hope and the "dawn" of colonial civilization.

Symbolism and Meaning

The overall composition and its elements are representative of the colonial era. This badge prioritized identification on colonial flags. The elephant and palm tree were typical choices for these kinds of emblems, presenting a visual of “exotic Africa” as perceived by the British Empire.

At the bottom of the design, the red initials "S.L." denote Sierra Leone, further cementing the identification with the colony itself.

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.
