Early 20th century civil ensign of Persia (Iran) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the civil ensign of Persia as it flew in the early twentieth century, a formal banner built from a horizontal tricolour and a central emblem.

Visual Elements & Composition

White fills most of the field, around seventy percent of the design, and green and red share the rest in equal measure, one band at each edge. The layout is flat, symmetrical and disciplined: rectangular bands stacked level, with a bordered frame that keeps the eye on the centre. Nothing crowds the edges. The palette is deep and restrained, and the clean geometry gives the whole composition a crisp, authoritative look.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem at the heart of the flag is the lion and sun, the heraldic device that Persian state banners carried through the Qajar period. The lion and sun gathered older symbols of kingship and power into one official mark, and the tricolour of green, white and red framed it as a national sign. Civil ensigns like this one were used for merchant and administrative purposes, which is why the design reads as formal and commemorative rather than ceremonial. It stands as a record of how a nation chose to picture itself at a particular moment in its history.

On the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the flag comes into view at the hand and the eye at once. The horizontal bands run straight across the glass and the emblem sits at its centre, where a drinker sees it at the moment of raising the glass. It makes a fitting piece for a home bar, a collection of historical flags or a conversation about Persian heraldry.

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.
