Bescherming Bevolking vlag (Netherlands) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This shot glass reproduces the flag of the Bescherming Bevolking, the Dutch civil protection organisation, built around its standing lion emblem.

Visual Elements & Composition

The flag is built on a bold orange field, which dominates the design and gives the dark blue emblem strong contrast. At the centre stands a Dutch lion, framed by the stylised letters BB set in dark blue. The layout is simple and centred, with the emblem filling the middle of the flag and nothing competing with it. The flat vector drawing keeps the lines crisp, so the lion and lettering stay legible at the small size of a shot glass.

Meaning & Symbolism

The lion is a long-standing Dutch heraldic emblem, and placing it at the heart of this flag marks the organisation as a national body. The BB letters name the Bescherming Bevolking directly. The organisation was the Netherlands' national civil defence body, and its flag was in use from 1952 until 1986, when the organisation was dissolved. The design records a specific chapter of Dutch civil service and national security.

On the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the emblem is seen at arm's length as the glass comes up. The lion and BB letters sit in a compact central field, which suits a glass that is studied in the hand rather than from across a room. The orange field carries the eye straight to the centre of the glass.

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.
