Blason de la ville de Bruges-Empire Shot Glass

This shot glass showcases the heraldic design of Bruges, Belgium, as it appeared during the First French Empire, a period known as "Bruges-Empire." The artwork vividly captures the symbolic elements mandated by Napoleonic heraldic rules.

Design Elements

The central element is a silver (argent) field, representing purity and frankness. Dominating this field is a black (sable) lion, a historic symbol of Bruges, dating back to the Middle Ages. This lion, signifies the city's strength and autonomy.

The lion is rendered with red (gueules) claws and tongue, signifying valor and courage. It is also crowned with gold (or), a visual symbol of urban dignity.

The Imperial Addition

Above the lion, a "chef de l'Empire" (top band) is prominently displayed. This band is blue (azur), adorned with golden bees. These bees, a symbol of Napoleonic authority, represent the imperial order and continuity, directly imposed by Napoleon on cities within his empire.

Symbolism

The overall design reflects the history of Bruges. The black lion, the traditional heraldic representation of the city, is enhanced by the imperial elements, reflecting the historical context of its creation. The artwork on this shot glass captures the essence of this historical period and the specific heraldic conventions of the 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.
