BANDERA VIRREINAL NOVOHISPANA (Mexico) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This shot glass carries the viceregal banner of New Spain, a square tawny field crossed by a purple saltire with crowns at its ends.

Visual Elements & Composition

The banner is square, set on a tawny brown ground. A purple Cross of San Andrés, a saltire running corner to corner, dominates the composition. Heraldic devices fill the cross: the shields of Mexico City, with their crowned lions, sit within it, and royal crowns crown the ends of the cross arms. The style is flat vector, with the saltire and the crowns as the strongest shapes.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Viceroyalty of New Spain was the Spanish colonial administration that governed Mexico for centuries. The Burgundy Cross stood as the general flag of the Spanish Empire, and this viceregal banner carried its saltire into the colonial era. The shields of Mexico City and the royal crowns tie the banner to the authority of the Crown. The flag remained in use until Mexico gained independence in 1821, which makes it a direct record of the colonial period.

On the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the saltire and crowns are seen at near range, the way a seal or badge is studied in the hand. The purple cross stands out against the tawny field, and each raised toast brings the viceregal emblem straight to eye level.

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.
