Borgonovo Val Tidone-Stemma (Italy) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the heraldic artistry of Borgonovo Val Tidone, a comune in Italy, in stunning detail. The design faithfully replicates the town's coat of arms, a visual narrative of its history and allegiances.

The Shield: A Divided Legacy

The central element is the shield, divided vertically. The left side, rendered in vibrant red, features a prominent silver cube. This element pays homage to the nearby city of Piacenza, Borgonovo’s historical founder and ruler.

The right half contrasts beautifully with a deep blue field. A majestic gold lion, in a rampant pose, takes center stage. This noble beast, holding a sprig of green-leafed quince with fruit, represents the influential Attendolo-Sforza family, who once held dominion over the area. The quince branch specifically references Cotignola, the family's origin, adding a layer of geographical significance to the design.

Additional Elements of Civic Pride

Above the shield, the design incorporates a civic crown, a traditional emblem of municipal authority, further emphasizing the town's official status.

A ribbon, positioned below the shield, bears the Latin motto "Facta est in arcem," elegantly inscribed. This translates to "It was made into a fortress," reflecting Borgonovo's origins as a fortified outpost, built to protect Piacenza's interests.

The overall design masterfully blends symbolic representations of political affiliation and the town’s rich medieval heritage, creating a compelling visual testament to Borgonovo Val Tidone's unique history.

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.
