Bandera Partido Unión Nacional 1948 Costa Rica (Costa Rica) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A simple flat-vector flag of horizontal bands in bright blue and white, recalling the banner of the Partido Unión Nacional, the 1948 coalition of Costa Rica.

Visual Elements & Composition

Blue covers roughly two-thirds of the rectangle, with white filling the remaining third. The design is built from horizontal stripes with no emblem, figure or lettering, so the colour blocks and their hard edges make up the entire image. The bold contrast between the two tones keeps the flag easy to read, and the plain layout is typical of party banners from the period.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Partido Unión Nacional was a coalition built for the 1948 presidential election cycle, led by the journalist Otilio Ulate Blanco. It brought together a broad range of groups opposed to the government of Rafael Ángel Calderón Guardia, united around defending electoral freedom and fair administration. The banner, with its plain colour blocks, stands for that shared cause and for a pivotal moment in Costa Rican history.

Shaped for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the stripes are seen at arm's length rather than from across a room. The horizontal bands wrap evenly around the curve of the glass, and the clean blue and white stay distinct as the glass is lifted and set back down.

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.
