Coat of Arms of British Columbia 1895 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the original Coat of Arms of British Columbia, a design rich in historical symbolism and heraldic tradition. The visual centerpiece of the design is the shield itself, with its striking array of elements.

The Shield's Elements

The shield's field, represented by "Argent," or silver, signifies peace and sincerity. Dominating the upper portion is the "chief barry wavy of argent and azure." This is a horizontal band composed of alternating silver and blue wavy stripes, a direct representation of the Union Jack. This element powerfully symbolizes British heritage and the province's historical connection to the United Kingdom.

Positioned in the base of the shield, the prominent "setting sun in base Or," or golden, element is arguably the most recognizable. This illustrates British Columbia's geographical position on the western edge of Canada, acting as a visual metaphor for the "sun never sets" concept, a key idea associated with the expansive British Empire during that era.

Symbolism and Meaning

The overall composition is a powerful visual statement. The elements combine to represent a blend of colonial ties and provincial identity. The shield speaks to the history of British Columbia and its connections within the British Empire.

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.
