Coat of Arms of Bissau 1941-1974 (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the heraldic emblem of Portuguese Guinea, now Guinea-Bissau, as it appeared during the colonial period from approximately 1941 until 1974. The design is a direct representation of the Coat of Arms used by the Portuguese administration in the region.

Visual Elements

The central element of the design is a shield with a dramatic black background, known in heraldry as "sable". A prominent golden (Or) staff or baton rises vertically through the center of the shield, crowned at the top with a human head figure. This motif, common in colonial emblems of the era, reflects historical Portuguese heraldic iconography. Encircling the shield is a border, or "bordure," featuring a repeating pattern that is equally important in its symbolism.

Symbolism and Meaning

The border is charged with alternating elements: the red crosses of the Order of Christ and small blue escutcheons bearing five white bezants. The crosses represent the Order of Christ, a significant order of chivalry in Portugal, symbolizing the country's religious and colonial ties. The blue escutcheons, mirroring the Portuguese flag, further emphasize Portugal's national identity and presence. The golden staff topped with a human head, in this context, alludes to Portugal’s role of leadership in the region.

The design, as a whole, is a visual representation of Portuguese colonial rule, using traditional heraldic language and imagery to communicate power, authority, and connection to Portugal. It's a snapshot of a historical time, captured in the symbolism of the coat of arms.

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.
