Emblem of Afghanistan (1974-1978) Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass showcases the striking emblem of the Afghanistan Republic, a powerful visual statement from a pivotal moment in the nation's history. The design is dominated by a majestic, stylised eagle with outstretched wings, facing forward in a pose of strength and vigilance.

Symbolism Woven Into the Design

At the eagle's heart, a pulpit-shaped element, or mihrāb, rests on its chest. This signifies the importance of the Islamic faith in Afghan identity, representing the connection between religion and state. Above the eagle, a rising sun motif, or sunburst, signals a new beginning and a "new era" for the Republic.

The eagle is embraced by a wreath of wheat ears, symbolising agricultural prosperity and the deep connection to tribal and historic traditions, echoing an important element of Afghan heritage. At the base, a scroll carries inscriptions in Pashto (or Dari), with the date of the Republic's founding. The chosen colour palette typically features gold and yellow against a darker background, creating a bold and graphic effect.

Historical and Artistic Significance

The overall design represents a shift away from the symbols of the monarchy, marking a transitional era in Afghan history. This emblem, known for its visual impact, became a representation of the Republic’s aspirations for modernization, national unity, and agricultural development. The elements of the design come together to encapsulate the brief period between monarchy and the rise of a communist regime, making this emblem a captivating piece of history.

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.
