Bandeira de Alterosa - MG (Brazil) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the official municipal flag of Alterosa, a city in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, with a central coat of arms framed by radiating bands in white, red and black.

Visual Elements & Composition

White covers much of the flag, with red and black bands radiating outward from a central rectangle that holds the coat of arms. The layout is structured and deliberate, and the bands read as a pattern of diagonal stripes across the field. The coat of arms sits on a shield topped by a castle-style crown. Inside it, a red cross on a silver shield, a hunting horn, a wheat sheaf and a corn stalk are arranged in clear heraldic order. A red ribbon scroll carries the name ALTEROSA in silver lettering. The flat vector style keeps every element crisp.

Meaning & Symbolism

The flag records the identity and economy of the municipality. The red cross honours the founder, José Rodrigues Moreira. The double black mantle stands for the Serra Negra mountains, and the hunting horn points to cattle ranching, a key economic pillar of the area. The rice and corn stalks represent the fertility of the land. The red ribbon carries the ideas of courage and audacity. The radiating bands express the reach of municipal power across the territory, and the quarters they form stand for the rural properties of the region. The flag was adopted on 31 May 1969.

Where the Horn Meets the Hand

A shot glass is small and is held close, so the central shield and its red cross are the first things the eye finds as the glass is lifted. The hunting horn and the grain stalks come into view as the glass is turned in the hand, and the ribbon scroll sits low where it reads clearly. It is a bold piece of regional heritage for a home bar, a travel keepsake, or a collection of Brazilian municipal flags.

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.
