Blue Ensign of South Australia 1870-1876 (Australia) Shot Glass 1.5oz

Navy blue fills this ensign, with the Union Jack in the canton and a black roundel of six white stars in the fly, a flag that identified South Australia during its colonial years.

Visual Elements & Composition

Navy dominates the field, and the Union Jack takes up the upper hoist corner in clean, flat shapes. The black disc in the fly is the one strong contrast on the flag, holding six white stars arranged in the Southern Cross pattern. The layout is simple and symmetrical, with a small crimson accent that keeps the palette lively.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Union Jack ties the colony to the British Empire, and the Southern Cross stars place it under the southern sky. Together they mark South Australia as a British colony that was also identifiably Australian. The ensign was used for only six years, from 1870 to 1876, which makes it a short but telling record of colonial self-identification in the late nineteenth century.

Made for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the stars are picked out first, six points in a black circle, before the Union Jack comes into view. The scale suits an emblem with fine detail set against a large field of blue.

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.
