Civil Ensign of Kenya (1895-1963) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a miniature representation of the Civil Ensign of Kenya, a historically significant flag that flew on civilian vessels registered in the region during the British colonial period, before Kenyan independence in 1963.

Design Elements and Meaning

The design faithfully recreates the key elements of the ensign. The dominant field is a vibrant red, mirroring the traditional British Red Ensign, which served as a signal of nationality for civilian ships throughout the British Empire.

In the upper hoist-side corner, a detailed depiction of the Union Jack is present. This corner detail directly reflects Kenya's status as a British colony, symbolizing the administrative and political ties to Great Britain during this era.

Finally, the most distinctive feature: the colonial emblem of Kenya, is placed in the fly (the right-hand side) of the flag. This would have represented Kenya's coat of arms or other appropriate colonial badge, signifying the specific geographic origin and identification of the vessels at sea.

Together, these elements combine to form a design that represents a specific period in Kenyan history, reflecting the nation's colonial past and its connections to the British Empire before its independence.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
