Coa Italy Country History Charles I of Naples 1246 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the heraldic artistry of Charles I of Naples, also known as Charles of Anjou. The design meticulously replicates his coat of arms, adopted in the pivotal year of 1246, offering a window into the visual language of medieval nobility and territorial control.

The Royal Arms and Territorial Claim

The primary element of the design is the azure field, scattered with golden fleurs-de-lys. This "semé-de-lys or" is a direct inheritance from his French royal lineage, a clear declaration of his noble birth as the son of a King of France. It grounds the design in the traditions of French royalty.

The Bordure: Defining Status and Domain

A significant addition distinguishes Charles's arms: a "bordure compony of gules and argent." This distinctive border is composed of alternating red (gules) and silver (argent) squares. The bordure signifies his specific territorial holdings, the County of Anjou and Maine, Provence, and Forcalquier, while further indicating his rank and power within the realms he governed. The incorporation of a border, while common in heraldry, is a way to distinguish one's arms from those of their liege lord, marking independence and autonomy.

This striking combination of the French royal arms and the unique bordure creates a compelling heraldic statement, elegantly encapsulating Charles I's identity as a ruler with deep roots and far-reaching dominion.

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.
