Brasão de armas do reino de Portugal 1481 (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a striking emblem of Portuguese history: the coat of arms from 1481, dating back to the reign of King John II. The design is a bold statement of Portugal's heritage, reflecting its monarchy, religious identity, and military achievements.

The Shield

At the heart of the design lies a white (argent) shield, the primary field for the heraldic elements. Dominating the center is a cross formation of five smaller blue shields, known as "quinas." Each of these quinas features five white dots (bezants), arranged in an "X" or saltire pattern. This arrangement represents the five wounds of Christ, symbolizing Portugal's profound Christian faith and the divine protection believed to be bestowed upon the kingdom.

Encircling the shield is a vibrant red border (bordure gules) adorned with seven golden castles. These castles are a testament to Portugal’s strength and military prowess, commemorating the successful Reconquista – the centuries-long struggle to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors.

Royal Crown

Above the shield, proudly positioned, is a regal royal crown. This element underscores the sovereignty and authority of the monarchy, central to the identity of the Kingdom of Portugal during this period.

Color Symbolism

The color palette employed in the design carries additional significance. The white (argent) symbolizes purity and faith. The red (gules) border signifies courage and strength. The blue (azure) of the quinas represents divine favor.

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.
