Civil Ensign of Singapore 1952-1959 (Singapore) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design renders the Civil Ensign of Singapore as it flew during the years 1952 to 1959, a flag of the colonial period captured in a clean, flat graphic style.

Visual Elements & Composition

A saturated red field dominates the flag, filling most of its surface and giving the piece its strong colour weight. In the upper hoist corner sits the Union Flag canton, set in navy blue, gold and white, which anchors the composition to the British connection of the period. Off-centre on the fly, a white roundel carries a red tri-part device, a compact emblem that becomes the focal point once the eye settles. Crisp edges and clear colour blocking keep every shape legible at small size.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Union Flag canton signals allegiance within the imperial system, while the roundel marks the colony's own identity beneath it. Ensigns of this kind were the flags flown on vessels and at public installations, so the emblem records how Singapore presented itself to the sea and to the wider world in the early 1950s. The design sits within a broader story of mid-century colonial flags, the period when many territories were redefining their visual identities. For collectors of vexillology, this is a precise snapshot of that transition, with its formal palette and heraldic clarity intact.

On the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small, held close and often turned in the fingers before the drink is taken, so the flag reads at arm's length rather than across a room. The roundel sits neatly in the glass's visible face, and the red field carries well against clear glass. Each pour brings the emblem back into view, which suits a piece of history meant to be looked at up close.

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.
