Bandeira de Recife (Brazil) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design brings the flag of Recife, the capital of Pernambuco, to the glass with a crowned golden lion, a red cross, a yellow star and a sun, all set on blue and white.

Visual Elements & Composition

Blue takes the largest share of the field, with white filling much of the rest, and the two colours form a vertical tricolour of calm, open bands. A crowned golden lion stands rampant across the centre, and a red Latin cross is placed beside it. A yellow five-pointed star and a sun emblem sit in the upper field, and the motto VIRTUS ET FIDES runs in lettering across the design. The flat vector shapes are bold and symmetrical, with a clear hierarchy that gives the lion and the cross the most visual weight.

Meaning & Symbolism

Each element carries a piece of the city's history. The crowned lion recalls the Dutch administration under Prince Maurice of Nassau and the city's nickname, the Leão do Norte, or Lion of the North. The red cross stands for the Portuguese colonial period and the introduction of Christianity. The star links to the Brazilian republic and the 1817 revolution, and the sun stands for energy and strength. The motto, Virtus et Fides, means strength and faith, and the blue and white colours take their meaning from the sky and peace.

Carried in the Hand

A shot glass is small and held close, so the lion and the cross are seen at the rim as the glass is lifted. The blue field wraps around the curve of the glass, and the golden lion catches the light as it is turned on the bar. It is a compact way to carry the heraldry of Recife, with its layered history, into a home bar or onto a shelf of Brazilian keepsakes.

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.
