Blason de la ville Imperia Italie (Italy) Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate and historically rich coat of arms of Imperia, a city in Liguria, Italy. The design is a powerful visual representation of the city's unique heritage and the union of its two founding communes.

Design Elements

The artwork is divided into two main quadrants, echoing the historical merger of Porto Maurizio and Oneglia. The first quadrant, representing Porto Maurizio, features a vibrant red background (gueules) adorned with four silver towers, each open and detailed with black. These towers are arranged in a cross formation, symbolizing the town's defensive importance. Above this, a prominent red "chief" (top section) displays the Cross of Saint George, a historical emblem of the Republic of Genoa.

The second quadrant, dedicated to Oneglia, presents a silver (argent) background. The central figure is a naturalistic olive tree, symbolizing peace and prosperity, a nod to the region's agricultural heritage, particularly olive cultivation. The upper portion of this quadrant also features a red chief, this time bearing the Cross of Saint George, which reflects the historical influence of the Duchy of Savoy.

Symbolism and Meaning

The coat of arms, as depicted on this shot glass, is steeped in symbolic meaning. The towers represent defense and fortification, reflecting the strategic value of Porto Maurizio. The olive tree signifies peace and the agricultural richness of the area, specifically the olive groves that define the landscape.

The Cross of Saint George, present in both chiefs, unites the historical legacies of Genoa and the Duchy of Savoy, acknowledging the significant influences that shaped Imperia's identity. This emblem is a visible reminder of Imperia's rich past and its origins as a unified city.

To complete the visual representation, the coat of arms is traditionally crowned with a mural crown, a common symbol for Italian cities. The design is often flanked by laurel and oak branches, symbolizing glory and strength, further enriching the visual narrative.

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.
