Berne war flag (Switzerland) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the war flag of the Canton of Bern, a bold heraldic banner of flame-shaped black and red fields divided by a white cross.

Visual Elements & Composition

Two colours do all the work here: a deep black and a saturated red, set in a flat, high-contrast graphic style. The flames are arranged in a horizontal bicolour rhythm rather than as a single solid field, so the eye moves across the surface in broad, jagged bands. A white traversante cross runs edge to edge through the centre, cutting the composition into quarters and anchoring the whole layout. There is no text or numerals; the flag is carried entirely by shape and contrast.

Meaning & Symbolism

The black and red are the traditional heraldic colours of Bern, and the flamed pattern is the canton's own military identity rather than a generic Swiss motif. The white cross is an older Swiss military emblem that appears across the country's banners, but it is the specific flame arrangement that marks this flag as Bernese. That arrangement was fixed by regulation in 1703, which places the design firmly in the early eighteenth century and gives it the weight of an official military standard of its era.

Held Close in the Hand

A shot glass is small enough to sit in the palm, so the flag is seen up close and at a tilt rather than from across a room. Tipped back on the pour, the flames and cross pass in front of the eye in quick succession, which suits a design built on sharp angles and strong contrast. The artwork turns into something you read at arm's length, one short motion at a 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.
