Crowned Arms of New Zealand (1911-1956) Shot Glass

This shot glass showcases the historical Crowned Arms of New Zealand, a powerful visual representation of the nation during the period from 1911 to 1956. The design is rich with symbolism, reflecting the country's heritage and its key industries.

The Shield: A Nation Divided and United

The central element is the shield, meticulously divided into four quarters, each representing a facet of New Zealand’s identity. The top left quarter features three gold stars against a blue field, mirroring the Southern Cross constellation, a fundamental symbol of New Zealand's geographic location and national identity. The top right quarter displays a gold fleece on a red background, symbolizing the pivotal role of sheep farming and the wool industry in the nation's economy. The bottom left quarter showcases a wheat sheaf on red, representing the significance of agriculture. The final quarter, bottom right, features two crossed hammers on red, symbolizing the importance of mining and industry.

At the center of the shield lies a smaller blue shield, bearing a gold lion passant (walking lion) holding a torch. This emblem symbolizes New Zealand's connection to the British Empire and its aspirations for progress and industrial development.

Supporters and Crest: A Blend of Cultures and Aspirations

Flanking the shield are the supporters: a European woman holding the New Zealand flag, representing European heritage and the nation’s colonial ties. On the other side stands a Māori warrior, proudly holding a taiaha (a traditional Māori weapon), symbolizing the Māori people and their enduring cultural presence. At the crest, topping the shield, is the St Edward’s Crown, a direct acknowledgement of New Zealand’s allegiance to the British monarchy.

A Legacy in Miniature

This design serves as a testament to a pivotal era in New Zealand's history, a time when the nation defined its identity. The artwork reflects a fusion of Māori and European elements, with an emphasis on the country’s significant industries and its bond with Britain. This piece presents a microcosm of the New Zealand of old, a visual narrative of a nation's journey towards self-definition.

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.
