Coat of Arms of the Straits Settlements (Singapore) Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms of the Straits Settlements, a symbol of the British Crown Colony that once encompassed Singapore, Penang, Malacca, and Labuan. The design is a miniature heraldic masterpiece, meticulously rendered to capture the essence of this colonial emblem.

The Quartered Shield

The central element of the design is the quartered shield, representing the four key settlements. The first quarter, dedicated to Singapore, features a vibrant red field, or "gules," upon which a gold lion passant guardant stands atop a tower. The lion, a symbol of British sovereignty, looks directly at the viewer, signifying watchful guardianship. The tower alludes to Singapore's strategic position and strength.

Symbolism of the Settlements

The remaining quarters offer a glimpse into the identities of the other settlements. The second quarter, for Penang, showcases a white, or "argent," field, featuring an areca-nut palm tree, a direct nod to the settlement's name, "Pinang." The third quarter, representing Malacca, also presents a white field, emblazoned with a sprig of the keruing tree. The final quarter, assigned to Labuan, features a blue, or "azure," field, depicting a sailing yacht against a rising sun and mountain, symbolizing its maritime heritage and location near Borneo.

The Crest and Unified Identity

Above the shield, the design incorporates a crest: a demi-lion rampant guardant, holding a banner adorned with three imperial crowns. The demi-lion further reinforces British heritage and authority. The three crowns symbolize the principal parts of the colony, representing the unified identity of the Straits Settlements under British rule.

A Legacy in Miniature

This shot glass design encapsulates a rich tapestry of historical significance, memorializing a time when the individual identities of Singapore, Penang, Malacca, and Labuan were united under a single colonial administration. It is a visual celebration of heraldry and a lasting tribute to the past.

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.
