Civil Ensign of Jamaica 1957-1962 (Jamaica) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design depicts the Jamaican civil ensign used from 1957 to 1962, a crimson red flag with the Union Jack in the canton and a shield-and-crest badge in the fly.

Visual Elements & Composition

Crimson red covers most of the flag, giving it a bold and commanding ground. The Union Jack fills the upper hoist corner, crisp in navy, white and red. In the fly, a roundel holds a shield with a red cross and gold roundels, topped by a crest with a crocodile on the helm. Small gold accents pick out the badge against the red, and the composition stays formal and symmetrical in a flat vector finish.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Union Jack reflects Jamaica's historic link with the United Kingdom, and the badge carries the island's heraldic identity, with the shield and crest drawn from its colonial arms. The motto inscribed on the badge is written in Latin, in keeping with the heraldic tradition of the period. This ensign marks the short years between 1957 and 1962, when Jamaica's maritime flag changed in the run-up to the island's independence, and the design is a clear record of that moment.

Held Close in the Hand

A shot glass is small and held close, so the badge and canton are read at near range, the way a civil ensign is seen from the deck of a vessel in harbour. The red field gives the glass warmth and presence, and the gold roundels catch the light against the straight sides of the tumbler. It is a fitting piece for a home bar, a maritime collection or a Caribbean history 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.
