Civil Ensign of Ceylon 1875-1948 (Sri Lanka) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the civil ensign of Ceylon, the red flag that carried the island's colonial emblem at sea from 1875 to 1948.

Visual Elements & Composition

Crimson red dominates the flag, with navy blue, white, sky blue and gold yellow in the details. The Union Jack takes the canton, linking the ensign to the British maritime tradition. A circular badge on the fly shows a stupa, the dome-shaped Buddhist monument, with an elephant beside it. The layout is clear and formal, and the flat vector style keeps the badge crisp against the red field.

Meaning & Symbolism

The stupa is one of the most recognised symbols of Buddhist heritage on the island, and the elephant speaks to the animal that has long stood for strength and royal association in Ceylon. Set beside the Union Jack, the badge shows the island's own identity inside the wider British Empire. The ensign covers the years from 1875 until 1948, the year Ceylon gained independence.

Lifting the Badge to Your Lips

A shot glass is small and held close, so the stupa and the elephant come into view as the glass is raised. The bold red field reads strongly through clear glass, and the detail of the badge stays clear at close range. Each pour brings a piece of Sri Lankan maritime 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.
