Coat of Arms of Manila Colonial (Philippines) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms of Manila, a design steeped in the rich history of the Philippines' capital city during the Spanish colonial period. The artwork is a faithful representation of the heraldic elements granted by King Philip II in 1596, offering a glimpse into Manila's past.

Shield Division and Upper Field

The design is centered around a shield, divided horizontally. The upper section, known as the "chief," dominates with a prominent symbol: a golden castle set against a vibrant red background. This castle, complete with its blue doors and windows, symbolizes Spanish authority and Manila's crucial role as a fortified strategic colonial city. Crowning the castle is a royal crown, an augmentation of honor bestowed in the 19th century by royal decree.

Lower Field and Symbolism

The lower section of the shield, the "base," features a "sea-lion" – a unique heraldic creature blending the upper body of a lion with the tail of a fish. This silver sea-lion is set against a blue background, and it clutches a sword in its paw. The sea-lion represents Manila's maritime identity and its status as an ultramarine territory under Spanish rule, a possession across the sea. This design is derived from the arms of the Kingdom of León, adapted for overseas domains.

Overall Representation

Together, the castle and sea-lion speak to the city's complex history. The castle represents the stronghold of Spanish power, and the sea-lion, with its hybrid form, symbolizes the city’s relationship to the sea and its colonial identity. The crown adds a touch of regal honor, solidifying the historical significance presented in this design.

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.
