Cape Verde Coat of Arms Shot Glass (1935-1951)

This shot glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms of Cape Verde, as it was used during the colonial period from 1935 to 1951. The design is a rich tapestry of heraldic elements, meticulously arranged to symbolize the historical connection between Cape Verde and Portugal.

Central Shield: A Divided Heritage

The focal point of the design is the shield, which is divided into three distinct sections, each representing a crucial facet of Cape Verde's identity during this era. The upper left section proudly displays the familiar five blue shields with white dots – the "quinas," the traditional heraldic symbols of Portugal, representing the motherland's influence.

The upper right section offers a glimpse of local identity, featuring a black caravel sailing ship with white sails and golden details set against a green field. This image is a poignant representation of Cape Verde’s maritime history and its connection to the sea.

The base of the shield presents alternating wavy stripes of green and white, symbolizing the Atlantic Ocean surrounding the archipelago. This design evokes the island setting and the importance of the sea to the islands.

Imperial Framing and Symbolism

The shield is supported by a golden armillary sphere, a classic Portuguese imperial emblem. Above the sphere, a gold mural crown, with its five towers, signifies the colonial status of the territory, tying it directly to the Portuguese Empire.

The overall artwork is a symbolic blend of Portuguese national identity (the quinas and armillary sphere) and local Cape Verde imagery (the caravel and waves), reflecting the complex historical relationships that defined the era.

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.
