Badge of the Monarchy of India 1947-50 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a striking design derived from the Badge of the Monarchy of India, used during the pivotal period of transition from British dominion to a fully independent republic, between 1947 and 1950.

Central Motif: The Ashoka Lions

At the heart of the design, the iconic Lion Capital of Ashoka takes center stage. This powerful representation features four Asiatic lions, standing back to back, a symbol deeply rooted in Indian history and culture. The lions convey strength, courage, and a legacy of governance, chosen to symbolize the newly independent nation.

Royal Integration: A Crown of Authority

Above the Ashoka lions, a royal crown is incorporated. This element represents King George VI, the constitutional monarch during the dominion period. The crown symbolized the continuation of royal authority during the transition period, before India fully embraced its republican identity.

Text and Circular Context

The central design is often presented within a circular context. Surrounding the prominent lion capital, you might find inscriptions such as "India" or "Government of India". This provides clear context and establishes the official nature of the emblem.

Symbolism

The design is a poignant blend of cultural heritage and the remnants of colonial past. It signifies the transition from British rule to Indian independence, as well as the initial acknowledgement of the British monarchy as the nation transitioned to self-rule. The Ashoka Lions represent the core of the Indian cultural identity, while the crown symbolizes the shared governmental structure of the time.

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.
