Civil Ensign of the Duchy of Parma 1851-1859 (Italy) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A red-bordered rectangle enclosing a quartered field of blue and yellow, this design reproduces the civil ensign of the Duchy of Parma as it appeared between 1851 and 1859.

Visual Elements & Composition

The red border frames the whole flag and gives it a firm edge. Inside, the field is divided into quarters that alternate blue and yellow, with white as a supporting tone. The layout is geometric and symmetrical, built from rectangles and triangular segments that give the flag a clear rhythm. The style is flat vector, and each colour block is sharply defined, so the pattern reads cleanly at a small size.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Duchy of Parma was a small Italian state ruled by the House of Bourbon-Parma, and this ensign was the civil flag that identified its vessels at sea during those years. The red border sets the flag apart as a distinct state emblem, while the quartered field gives it the structured look of mid-nineteenth-century European state design. The 1851 to 1859 span belongs to the last decade before the Duchy was absorbed into the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1860.

On the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the quartered pattern is seen from a short distance and turned as the glass moves. The bold red border frames the design at the rim, and the alternating blue and yellow blocks meet in the centre, where the eye settles on each pour.

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.
