Coat of Arms of Saint Petersburg Governorate 1878 (Russia) Shot Glass: Design Description

This shot glass showcases the majestic Coat of Arms of the Saint Petersburg Governorate, officially adopted in 1878. The design is a rich tapestry of heraldic symbols, each contributing to a layered narrative of geographical significance and imperial power.

The Escutcheon: The Heart of the Design

The central element is the shield, or "escutcheon," which features a crimson red field. Upon this vibrant backdrop, a striking composition emerges: a gold (or yellow) imperial Russian scepter gracefully crosses over two silver anchors. These anchors, one representing the sea and the other a river anchor, are crossed diagonally, symbolizing the dual maritime and riverine nature of the Saint Petersburg region, acknowledging its importance as both a sea and river port.

Heraldic Embellishments: Embodying Authority and Identity

The shield is crowned with the Imperial Russian crown, a powerful emblem of imperial authority and the region's status within the Russian Empire. Encircling the shield is a wreath composed of golden oak leaves, bound together by a St. Andrew's ribbon, a blue and white ribbon. This wreath and ribbon serve as distinguishing features, designating the governorate rather than just the city itself, and adding an additional layer of imperial symbolism.

Meaning and Symbolism: A Legacy in Design

The overall design is a sophisticated visual statement. The anchors directly reflect the region's geographical identity as a pivotal hub for both sea and river trade. The scepter and crown emphasize the region's political status and its alignment with the Russian Empire. The oak leaves and St. Andrew's ribbon contribute to the design's intricate heraldic structure. Together, these elements represent a potent mix of geographical and political identity, making it a design of historical depth.

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.
