Emblem of Afghanistan 1980-1987 (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the emblem of Afghanistan as it appeared during the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan era, from 1980 to 1987. The design is a powerful visual statement of the socialist ideology prevalent during that period, reflecting the country's alignment with the Soviet Union.

Symbolism and Imagery

The central focus of the emblem is a bold representation of progress and hope: a rising sun emerging behind towering mountains. This image conveys a sense of optimism for the future, while the mountains suggest the strength and resilience of the Afghan landscape and people.

The emblem also prominently features agricultural symbols. Wheat stalks gracefully frame the central design, representing the country's agrarian economy and the promise of prosperity. A gear or cogwheel, placed below, signifies industry and labor, elements crucial to the socialist vision of development.

At the apex of the design, the red star acts as a potent symbol of communism and solidarity with the socialist bloc. A banner, usually bearing the country's name in both Pashto and Dari languages, often included the year of the republic in the Afghan calendar, grounding the emblem in its historical context.

Color Palette

The color scheme is dominated by red and yellow, reflecting the core colors of socialist iconography. The red emphasizes revolutionary spirit, while yellow accents provide visual contrast. Hints of green may be included in the wheat stalks, linking it to the earth and the agricultural focus. These colors work to create a visually impactful emblem with great historical significance.

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.
