Civil Ensign of the Gold Coast 1877-1957 (Ghana) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This glass shows the Civil Ensign of the Gold Coast, the maritime flag used in the colony from 1877 until 1957, drawn as a crisp flat vector with a bold crimson field.

Visual Elements & Composition

Crimson red dominates the design, filling most of the flag. In the upper hoist sits a navy canton carrying the Union Jack, and in the fly a yellow circular roundel holds a grey elephant with its trunk raised. A palm tree stands beside it against a sunset over green hills. The only lettering is the initials "G.C." set into the flag, and the layout is simple and balanced, with clean edges that keep each element sharp.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Union Jack canton marks the colony's place within the British Empire, and the roundel with its elephant, palm and hills points to the land and its wildlife. The initials name the Gold Coast itself. The flag belongs to the colonial era that ended in 1957, the year the territory became independent as Ghana, so the design records the moment just before that change.

On the Shot Glass, 1.5oz

A shot glass is small and held close, so the roundel and elephant come into view as the glass is lifted, while the broad red field fills the centre of the glass. The clear glass lets the flag's colours show clearly, and the small size suits a flag built around one bold emblem.

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.
