Dr. John C. Blaxlands Proposal 2013 Australian Flag Proposal (Australia) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design presents Dr. John C. Blaxland's 2013 proposal for a new Australian flag, a flat vector concept built around the blue, black, red, yellow and white of a national emblem.

Visual Elements & Composition

Deep blue fills roughly half the field and sets the mood, with black taking the next largest share. Red and yellow come in as sharp accents, and white appears only in small touches. The layout relies on a rectangle as its basic frame, with a chevron cutting across it to create direction and tension. The stars are the focal point: an eight-pointed star sits alongside the Southern Cross constellation, drawn in the flat, graphic language of modern flag design. Nothing else competes for attention.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Southern Cross has been a reference point for Australia since colonial navigators first charted the sky above the southern hemisphere, and it appears on the national flag today. Dr. John C. Blaxland's proposal keeps that constellation at its centre while recasting the rest of the design. The eight-pointed star and the chevron signal a deliberate break from convention, a way of asking what a national flag might look like if it were drawn from scratch in 2013.

Why It Suits a Shot Glass

A shot is a small, deliberate moment, lifted and held close, so the flag is seen at arm's length and at eye level rather than from across a room. The chevron and the star read clearly in that short viewing distance, and the bold blue field carries well when the glass is raised. Give it to someone who has an opinion about flags and a favourite toast to go with it.

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.
