British Guiana Volunteer Force Regimental Colour (Guyana) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A forest-green ceremonial colour carrying a sailing ship, a crown and a laurel wreath, lettered with the name of the British Guiana Volunteer Force.

Visual Elements & Composition

Forest green covers almost the whole field, with gold picking out the crown, wreath and lettering, and sky blue, crimson and white in the emblem. A circular badge sits at the centre, with a sailing ship at its heart, St Edward's Crown above, and a laurel wreath around the lower edge. A garter and a banner frame the emblem. The inscriptions BRITISH GUIANA VOLUNTEER FORCE and the Latin motto DAMUS PETIMUSQUE VICISSIM run through the design in flat, clear lettering.

Meaning & Symbolism

A regimental colour is a ceremonial flag that carries a unit's identity and honour, and this one belongs to the British Guiana Volunteer Force. The force served through the colonial period and continued until the Guyana Defence Force took over in 1965 and 1966. The ship recalls the colony's maritime life, the crown and garter the link to the British Crown, and the laurel wreath the honour of service.

A Colour for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the badge comes into view one part at a time as it is raised. The ship and crown sit well at this scale, and the lettering reads clearly when the glass is set down on the bar.

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.
