Coat of Arms of Portuguese India Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate design of the Coat of Arms of Portuguese India, as it appeared between 1935 and 1951. The artwork elegantly encapsulates the complex symbolism of Portuguese colonial rule in its Indian territories.

Central Emblem and Border

At the heart of the design, we find the iconic Portuguese escutcheon. A small, central shield dominates, featuring five smaller blue shields arranged in a cross formation. Each of these blue shields contains five white bezants (circular shapes), representing the victories of Portugal throughout history. This central emblem firmly grounds the design in Portuguese national identity.

Surrounding the escutcheon is a bordure gules, a striking red border adorned with castles. The castles serve a dual purpose, symbolizing both the strength and extension of Portuguese authority, and representing the empire itself. This border creates a visual frame around the central elements, highlighting their importance.

Supporting Symbols

Beneath the shield, the entire emblem rests upon a golden armillary sphere. This intricate sphere is a maritime symbol of Portugal’s Age of Discoveries, signifying its global reach, navigational skill, and dominance on the seas. The armillary sphere reinforces the message of colonial power and the connection to Portugal's past.

Overall Representation

The overall composition is a powerful statement of colonial identity. It blends Portuguese national pride with the assertion of colonial authority in India, creating a design rich in historical significance and symbolism, telling a story of conquest, discovery, and imperial rule.

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.
