Burgundy merchant 1762 (Spain) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A saltire cross stretched corner to corner across a deep blue field, this design recreates a Spanish merchant ensign of 1762 built around the Cross of Burgundy.

Visual Elements & Composition

Blue covers most of the design and forms a flat, uninterrupted ground. The saltire, a diagonal cross running from corner to corner, dominates the centre and divides the field into four clear sections. Its edges are drawn as stepped, jagged bars rather than smooth lines, which gives the cross a worked, heraldic texture. White is the only other tone, used for the cross itself. The layout is symmetrical and the style is flat vector, with no shading and no lettering.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Cross of Burgundy, a saltire of this kind, was a traditional emblem of the Spanish crown and its naval and military forces. This ensign was flown by Spanish merchant shipping in the eighteenth century, when the saltire signalled Spain's maritime reach across the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The design places the cross on a blue field, the colour of the sea that carried those ships, so the flag ties Spanish trade to the long history of its navy.

Held Close

A shot glass is small and held close, so the cross and its jagged edges are seen at arm's length rather than across a room. The strong blue field and the pale saltire read quickly at that size, and the curve of the glass carries the diagonal around as it is lifted, giving the ensign a crisp, maritime presence on the bar or the shelf.

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.
