Coat of Arms of Kerch Gradonachalstvo 1859 Shot Glass Design

This striking shot glass showcases the unapproved, yet historically significant, coat of arms proposed for the Kerch-Enikale Gradonachalstvo in the Russian Empire during 1859. The design is a powerful visual statement steeped in heraldic tradition and local symbolism.

The Central Shield: A Golden Field of Strength

The focal point of the design is the shield, its field a vibrant gold (yellow). This bright background serves to highlight the central charge: a black griffin, depicted rampant, as if leaping with fierce determination. The griffin, a mythical creature of combined lion and eagle traits, represents strength, vigilance, and guardianship – a fitting emblem for a strategic location.

Symbolism of Control: The Black Key

Positioned at the base of the shield, a black key lies horizontally. This detail is a clear visual representation of control and guardianship over the Kerch Strait, a vital gateway between the Black and Azov Seas. The key subtly yet powerfully conveys the city's strategic importance.

Imperial Authority and Honor: Crown and Oak Leaves

Above the shield, an ancient imperial crown signifies the administrative status of Kerch-Enikale within the Russian Empire. Surrounding the shield, golden oak leaves are bound together with the Alexander Ribbon, a traditional symbol often associated with honor, loyalty, and a direct connection to the imperial system. These decorative elements elevate the design, providing an aura of prestige and commemorating Kerch-Enikale's imperial history.

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.
