Canadian Red Ensign Crown 1873 2 (Canada) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A white roundel sits behind a quartered shield on this flat-vector Red Ensign, with St Edward's crown rising above it and the Union Jack in the upper corner.

Visual Elements & Composition

The red field is the largest area of the design, and the eye moves from the navy canton to the white roundel that frames the shield. The shield is divided into quarters holding a lion, a ship and a maple sprig, while the gold crown caps the whole emblem. Two small lettering lines read B. C. and PARVA SUB INGENTI, set in the shield area. Navy, white, gold and green keep the palette tight, and the composition is centred and orderly.

Meaning & Symbolism

The crown and the shield tie the Canadian emblem to the Crown and to the monarchy that stood over the colonies. The lion and the ship recall Britain's presence and the sea routes that connected the territories, while the maple places the emblem firmly in Canadian ground. The Latin motto PARVA SUB INGENTI, meaning small beneath the great, carries the same idea of a young federation sheltered within a larger empire.

A Roundel at Arm's Length

A shot glass is taken in one motion, so its contents are seen at close range and then gone. The 1.5oz size keeps the white roundel and the crown in a single glance, making each glass a compact look at a shield built around the ideas of the period.

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.
