C o a Alexander VIII (Italy) (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass showcases the heraldic artistry of the "C o a Alexander VIII," the coat of arms used by Pope Alexander VIII during his papacy from 1689 to 1691. This striking design is a visual testament to both his noble Venetian lineage and his papal authority.

A Divided Shield

The shield itself is divided "per bend," meaning diagonally from the upper left to the lower right. The upper portion is a vibrant Azure (blue), while the lower portion presents a rich Vert (green). Across this field runs a prominent bend (diagonal stripe) in shining Or (gold).

Imperial Embellishments

The design is crowned by a Chief (top horizontal band) of Or (gold) bearing a majestic crowned double-headed eagle Sable (black). This eagle, a powerful symbol of high authority and noble lineage, speaks to the Ottoboni family's standing and association with imperial imagery.

Papal Authority

Above the shield, the design incorporates a papal tiara, a three-tiered crown signifying the Pope's spiritual leadership. Behind the shield, the crossed keys of Saint Peter, a quintessential element of papal heraldry, represent the authority of the papacy.

Representation and Meaning

This coat of arms elegantly combines the Ottoboni family's heritage with the symbols of the papacy. The colors and eagle, rooted in the family's heraldry, are combined with the tiara and keys, signifying Alexander VIII’s role as Pope. The design echoes the imagery displayed on coins, papal documents, and other artifacts from his pontificate, offering a glimpse into the art and symbolism of a brief but significant period in 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.
