Eritrea (1936-1941) Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate heraldic design of the Coat of Arms of Eritrea as it appeared during its time as a governorate within Italian East Africa (1936-1941). The design is a vivid snapshot of the period, reflecting the blend of colonial heritage and Fascist ideology.

Shield Elements

The core of the design is the shield, horizontally divided. The upper portion, or 'chief', is a bold red field. Centered on this red ground is the Fasces, the iconic bundle of rods and an axe, a powerful symbol of Fascist authority. The Fasces is likely encircled or flanked by laurel and oak branches, representative of victory and strength.

The lower portion, representing the traditional colonial arms, is a striking contrast: a silver or white field bears a regal red lion passant, striding with a white star on its shoulder. Below, horizontal wavy blue and white stripes flow to depict the Red Sea, a direct nod to Eritrea’s geographical connection to the body of water from which its name is derived.

Symbolism and Meaning

Every element within this design is laden with symbolism. The red field and the imposing Fasces establish the governing power structure. The lion and star carry multiple meanings: the lion echoes historical associations with the Italian monarchy, and the star, known as the "Stellone d'Italia", represents the Italian nation. The wavy bars of blue and white directly acknowledge Eritrea’s ties to the Red Sea, emphasizing the land's place in the region.

This coat of arms is more than just a visual display; it's a historical statement, a visual proclamation of Italian colonial rule and its intersection with local history and identity.

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.
