Coat of Arms of the Portuguese and Spanish Guinea - Shot Glass 1.5oz

A flat, precise crest that sets a royal blue shield against a white field, with a silver-trunked tree rising from rippling water beneath it.

Visual Elements & Composition

Royal blue dominates the design, with white, forest green and silver grey forming the rest of the palette. The central shield is a rounded-base form, framed by a clean armillary sphere. Wavy bands run across the lower section, and the tree, green hills and water sit in a calm, horizontal layout. The rendering is flat vector throughout, so every edge stays crisp at small scale.

Meaning & Symbolism

This is the official coat of arms of Portuguese Guinea, the West African colony that was an administrative territory of Portugal and used this heraldry from 1951 until independence in 1974. The Portuguese quinas on the shield signal the nation's historical authority, while the gold baton stands for the colonial presence in Africa. The wavy bars represent the coast and waterways of the territory, and the armillary sphere recalls Portugal's long tradition of navigation and maritime exploration. The emblem is a record of the visual language used to define colonial administration in the mid-twentieth century, before the territory became the modern nation of Guinea-Bissau.

Shaped for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the crest reads best at arm's length and in the moment it is raised. The shield sits at the centre of the glass where the eye lands first, and the wavy bands wrap naturally around the lower body. Each glass carries the full emblem as a single, self-contained piece of colonial heraldry.

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.
