Coat of Arms of José de Escandón (United States) - Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historically significant Coat of Arms of José de Escandón, a prominent Spanish colonial official. The design pays homage to his Spanish noble lineage and his crucial role in the colonization of Nuevo Santander, an area encompassing parts of present-day southern Texas.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The central element of the design is the shield, meticulously divided into four quadrants (quarterly), each bearing distinct imagery.

  • The first quadrant, in vibrant Gules (red), displays a majestic triple-towered castle Argent (silver). The castle signifies strength, nobility, and the establishment of settlements.
  • The second quadrant, in Argent (silver), features an eagle displayed with wings inverted, accompanied by two vibrant red roses. The eagle symbolizes courage and vigilance. The roses represent beauty and possibly, in this context, the potential for growth in the new lands.
  • The third quadrant, in Azure (blue), depicts a gold staff issuing from a cook-pot, topped with a red forked pennon. The cook-pot and pennon are symbols of familial lineage.
  • The fourth quadrant, in Vert (green), also showcases a triple-towered castle Argent (silver), reinforcing the themes of strength and settlement.

The design is completed by a cross couped Or (gold) placed prominently in the top center (Chief) of the shield. This element emphasizes his devout Catholic faith and further symbolizes divine protection.

The artwork replicates the historical Escudo de Armas del Conde de la Sierra Gorda, presenting a striking and historically accurate visual representation of this important figure.

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.
