Coat of Arms of Ceylon (1952-1972) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historically significant Coat of Arms of Ceylon, a symbol of Sri Lankan heritage from 1952 to 1972. The design is a rich tapestry of symbolism, reflecting the nation's identity during its period of independence as the Dominion of Ceylon.

Central Emblem

The heart of the design features a majestic golden lion holding a sword. This powerful motif, rooted in ancient Sinhalese kingdoms, embodies bravery, strength, and the unwavering protection of the nation. The lion is set against a dignified maroon backdrop, a color representing the Sinhalese people themselves. A surrounding gold border further accentuates the sense of dignity and sovereignty.

Surrounding Elements

The central shield is adorned with traditional Sri Lankan motifs. Prominent among these are sheaves of paddy, representing the country's agrarian roots and the promise of prosperity. Above the shield, depending on the period, one might find either a Dharmachakra, the traditional emblem of justice and ethical governance, or a crown as a respectful nod to the British monarchy. This combination of emblems speaks to the blend of local tradition and the realities of its unique political status at the time.

A Blend of Heritage

The design of the Coat of Arms of Ceylon is a visual narrative. It's a symbolic bridge, weaving together the threads of Sri Lanka’s rich historical identity with its modern aspirations, a legacy captured within the glass.

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.
