Early 20th century ensign of Persia 1 (Iran) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the early 20th-century ensign of Persia, a horizontal tricolour built around a central emblem of lion, sun and sword.

Visual Elements & Composition

White dominates the field, taking roughly three quarters of the surface, with gold as the clear second colour, accented by small areas of green and red. The layout is rectangular and symmetrical, with the stripes forming a calm, structured base. At its centre sits the emblem, rendered in engraved detail: a lion holding a scimitar, beside a rising sun with a human face. The gold lines of the motif carry the eye inward, so the emblem reads as the clear focal point of the whole composition.

Meaning & Symbolism

The lion and sun were the core of the Persian emblem for generations, and the sun with a face and the sword set the imagery of that era apart. The engraving style and muted palette reflect the period's heraldry, when national symbols were drawn with formal, careful precision. The ensign marks the country's passage into the modern century, and the design holds that moment in a dignified, archival mood.

Taking the Emblem Close

A shot glass is small and held close, so the emblem is read at arm's length rather than across a room. The gold engraving catches the light as the glass is lifted, and the centred motif sits neatly within the glass's round profile. It is a quiet, conversation-starting piece for anyone who enjoys a little history with their drink.

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.
