Byrds Second Antarctic Expedition Flag Variant Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces a flag variant adopted for Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd's second American Antarctic expedition in 1933.

Visual Elements & Composition

Deep navy dominates the field, with a bright yellow band and light blue accents setting off a white border. A circular roundel sits within a horizontal panel, and inside it an airplane flies above a mountain peak. The words BYRD ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION run across the design, set in a clean, modern lettering that keeps the composition direct and uncluttered.

Meaning & Symbolism

The flag served the expedition in practical ways: it marked operations in the field, identified the base camps the team established, and provided a means of signalling across the ice. The aircraft and the mountain stand for the exploration that defined the mission, when flight and survey work opened up the polar interior. The design belongs to the early twentieth century and to the logistics of scientific discovery in one of the most remote regions on earth.

Made for This Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the navy field and the roundel with its plane come into view as the glass is lifted. The compact layout suits a small surface, and each pour brings a piece of polar exploration history to the table.

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.
