Coat of Arms of the Principality of Mingrelia (Georgia) Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms of the Principality of Mingrelia, a significant emblem of the western Georgian feudal state that existed from 1557 to 1867. The design, originating from historical heraldic sources, particularly echoes the 18th-century depictions documented by Vakhushti, a Georgian prince and scholar who chronicled the coats of arms of Georgian lands.

Heraldic Elements and Symbolic Representation

The central design features a heraldic shield, a hallmark of the Georgian heraldic tradition. The shield, designed for the ruling Dadiani dynasty, embodies their status and the principality's autonomy. Though precise blazons (formal descriptions) are scarce in English sources, surviving depictions offer insight into the shield's composition. It's likely adorned with various charges, or symbols, conveying the principality's identity, including elements significant to the ruling house, local history, and regional identity. These could encompass animals, crosses, or specific objects, each representing an aspect of Mingrelian heritage and power.

Historical Context in Design

The artwork reflects the 18th-century Georgian heraldic style, with ornate details and flourishes characteristic of the era. The presence of this Coat of Arms on the shot glass serves as a reminder of Mingrelia's rich history, its period of self-governance, and its integral role within the broader tapestry of Georgian principalities before Russian annexation in the 19th century. This design is not just an image; it's a window into a bygone era of Georgian nobility and regional identity.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
