Coat of Arms of Brussels Napoleon Shot Glass: Design Description

This shot glass showcases the coat of arms of Brussels as it appeared during the Napoleonic era (1795-1814), reflecting the city's status under French imperial rule.

Central Shield Design

The core of the design is a red (gules) shield, emblazoned with the iconic figure of Saint Michael the Archangel. He is rendered in gold, depicted in the act of slaying a black dragon beneath his feet. This representation of Saint Michael, the patron saint of Brussels, symbolizes justice, protection, and divine authority, a direct link to the city's medieval heritage.

Imperial Additions

At the top of the shield, a “chief of the Empire” is prominently displayed. This section is a red band bearing three golden bees, a personal emblem of Napoleon. These bees represent industriousness, order, and unwavering loyalty to the Emperor and the French Empire.

Surmounting Elements

The shield is crowned with a mural crown, likely featuring three or five towers. This indicates the city's municipal status within the Empire, reinforcing its civic identity without suggesting sovereignty.

Overall Impression

The overall artwork is a harmonious blend of local tradition and imperial French symbolism. The image of Saint Michael, coupled with the Napoleonic bees, creates a powerful visual narrative that reflects the historical period and Brussels's position within the First French 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.
