Coat of Arms of the Royal African Company (United Kingdom) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a meticulously detailed rendering of the Coat of Arms of the Royal African Company, a historical emblem granted by royal charter in 1662. The design is rich in symbolism, reflecting the company’s commercial endeavors under the British crown.

The Shield

The centerpiece of the design is the shield, emblazoned on a gold (Or) field. A majestic blue elephant (azure) strides across the field, carrying a silver (argent) quadrangular castle on its back. From the castle's left tower, a vibrant red banner (gules) flies, bearing a small cross emblem, adding a touch of historical detail. The shield also incorporates a canton in the upper right, which quarters the design with French fleur-de-lis and English lions, indicative of the historical connection with both crowns under which the company operated.

Crest and Supporters

Above the shield, the crest crowns the composition. It features an upright black (sable) anchor with a gold (or) cable, flanked by two silver dragon's wings, each charged with a red cross. This elaborate crest sits atop a ducal coronet.

The shield is flanked by two African figures. They are portrayed in traditional attire, wearing waist skirts, feathered headdresses, and pearl ornaments. Each figure holds an arrow in their outer hand, adding to the visual richness and historical reference.

Motto

Finally, the words “Regio floret patrocinio commercium, commerciique regium” are subtly incorporated, representing the company's motto: “By royal patronage trade flourishes, and with flourishing trade the realm prospers.”

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.
