East India Company Coat of Arms Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass showcases the historically significant Coat of Arms of the East India Company, as used from its founding in 1600 until 1709. The design is a vibrant representation of the company's ambition and global reach.

The Shield: A Voyage of Trade

The central element of the design is the shield, featuring a deep Azure (blue) background emblazoned with three majestic ships in full sail. These ships, rendered with their Argent (white) sails, pennants, and ensigns, symbolize the company's primary activity: seafaring trade and exploration in the East Indies. Each sail bears a prominent red cross, a direct reference to the English heritage and the St. George's cross, underlining the company's connection to England.

The Chief: Royal and Aspirations

At the top of the shield, a prominent chief (horizontal band) adds further detail and meaning. It is quartered, displaying a combination of royal symbols. In the first and fourth quarters, golden fleur-de-lis represent ties to France. In the second and third quarters, a golden lion passant guardant, flanked by two crimson roses, denotes royal connection. These heraldic elements speak to the company's aspirations and its connections to English and international power.

The Crest: Worldly Ambition

The design continues with a crest which depicts a globe, bound with ribbons representing the Zodiac, between two pennons. This symbol of a globe emphasizes the company's global aspirations and international trading ambition. The phrase "DEUS INDICAT" ("God shows the way") over the globe highlights the religious sanction and mission of the company.

The Supporters: Maritime Strength

Flanking the shield are two golden sea-lions, creatures with the body of a lion and a fish tail. These mythical beasts symbolize maritime strength and power, reinforcing the company's dominance on the seas.

The Motto: Divine Guidance

Below the shield, the motto "DEO DUCENTE NIL NOCET" (When God leads, nothing harms) is a constant reminder of the company's reliance on divine guidance.

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.
