E.M. Chadwick Proposed Blue Ensign of Canada with Yellow Maple Leaves 1896 (Canada) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the Blue Ensign proposed for Canada by E.M. Chadwick in 1896, a flag built around a deep blue field and a cluster of golden maple leaves.

Visual Elements & Composition

Blue dominates the design, filling most of the flag's surface. Red, gold and white appear in small, deliberate accents, with the gold maple leaves catching the eye against the blue. The Union Jack sits in the canton, the traditional upper corner of a blue ensign, and the rectangular layout keeps the arrangement clean and formal.

Meaning & Symbolism

A blue ensign signals a national identity drawn from British heraldry, and Chadwick's proposal answers that tradition with the maple leaf, the emblem that would come to define Canada. The 1896 date places the design at the close of the nineteenth century, when Canadians were actively debating what their national symbols should look like. Chadwick's proposal stands as a record of that debate and of the search for a distinctly Canadian flag.

Made for the Hand That Lifts a Toast

A shot is small, quick and held close, so the flag is read at arm's length and in a single glance. The gold leaves sit near the centre of your view as the glass is raised, and the Union Jack and blue field are right there for anyone who wants to look a little longer. It is a cheeky way to raise a glass to Canadian flag history, and a thoughtful pick for a friend who loves a good story 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.
