Coat of Arms of Canada 1868 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a historically significant design: the original Coat of Arms of Canada, granted in 1868. This emblem represents the very beginnings of the Dominion of Canada after Confederation.

The Shield

The centerpiece of the design is the shield, quartered to showcase the heraldic symbols of Canada's founding influences. It speaks volumes about the nation's origins and connections:

  • England: Displayed in the first quarter, featuring three golden lions passant guardant on a red (gules) field, reflecting Canada's strong ties to the United Kingdom.
  • Scotland: The second quarter presents a golden lion rampant within a double tressure flory-counter-flory (a border of fleur-de-lis) on a gold (or) field, honoring the Scottish heritage.
  • Ireland: In the third quarter, a golden harp with silver (argent) strings on a blue (azure) background, paying tribute to the Irish influence.
  • France: The final quarter, the familiar three golden fleurs-de-lis on a blue background, representing the historical French presence in Canada.

The absence of maple leaves in this 1868 version is noteworthy, as they were later incorporated. The design's simplicity served a practical purpose, ideal for seals and official documents.

Symbolism

The design speaks of the early years of Canada, a new nation rooted in European heritage. The use of the English, Scottish, Irish, and French symbols highlights the colonial origins of the country, reflecting the cultural makeup of the new 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.
