Coat of Arms of Joseph I – Or Shield Variant Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a striking design based on the "Or Shield Variant" of the Coat of Arms of Joseph I, Holy Roman Emperor, a design specifically employed to emphasize imperial authority, particularly within Austria.

The Gold Shield

The central element, the shield, is rendered in shimmering gold (Or), serving as the primary field. This choice immediately distinguishes this variant, as the gold background was a deliberate artistic decision for ceremonial purposes.

Quarterings of Power

The shield is divided into quarters, each representing a significant territory under Joseph I's rule:

  • Bohemia: Displays a silver lion rampant, crowned and armed, set against a vibrant red field. This symbolizes the Kingdom of Bohemia.
  • Hungary: Exhibits a quartered design of red and silver stripes, surmounted by a double cross resting on a green hill, representing the Kingdom of Hungary.
  • Austria (Habsburg): Featuring the traditional Habsburg arms, a white fess (horizontal band) across a red background, symbolizing the Archduchy of Austria.
  • Burgundy Ancient: Features a gold bend and a blue bend sinister on a red field.

These quarterings together reflect the vast holdings and diverse power base of the Holy Roman Emperor.

Central Habsburg Heritage

At the center of the shield, an inescutcheon (small shield within the larger one) prominently displays the core Habsburg arms: a red shield with a white fess. This central element highlights the hereditary lineage of Joseph I and his direct connection to the Habsburg dynasty.

Imperial Crest & Supporters

Crowning the shield is a closed imperial crown, symbolizing the Emperor's supreme authority. Flanking the shield are two imposing black imperial eagles with red beaks and claws. These supporters are powerful symbols of imperial might and divine right to rule.

Honoring the Order

The Order of the Golden Fleece, a prestigious chivalric order, is represented by its distinctive collar draped around the shield, reinforcing the Emperor’s position of honor and authority.

A Legacy of Splendor

This design is more than just a collection of heraldic elements; it's a visual statement of power, heritage, and imperial grandeur. The "Or Shield Variant" elevates this representation, making it a striking emblem of the Holy Roman Emperor’s reign.

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.
