Civil Ensign of Malta 1943-1964 (Malta) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A crimson civil ensign from Malta between 1943 and 1964, with a Union Flag canton and a white roundel holding a quartered shield.

Visual Elements & Composition

The crimson field fills most of the flag, with navy and white in the canton beside the Union Flag. The white roundel sits centred on the field and contains a shield quartered in blue and red and white, with a silver cross and a crowned emblem on it. Silver grey appears in small touches, so the layout reads as structured and formal, with the shield as the clear focal point.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Union Flag canton ties the flag to the British connection of the period, while the shield and its quartered design draw on Malta's own heraldry. The silver cross and the crown are the parts of the emblem that signal the island's identity inside that framework. The design belongs to the mid-twentieth century, a period of transition for Malta before its independence.

Seen at Close Range

A shot glass is small and held close, so the roundel and its quartered shield are read at eye level as the glass is raised. The crimson wraps the body, and the silver cross catches the light near the rim where the drinker sees it first.

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.
