Emblem of Benin (1975-1990) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the emblem of the People's Republic of Benin, a powerful visual statement reflecting the nation's socialist ideals during the period of 1975 to 1990. The design is a bold and striking representation of the era’s heraldic tradition.

Key Elements and Symbolism

The central field of the emblem is a vibrant green, representing the nation's natural environment. Overlaid on this is a collection of powerful socialist symbols.

Dominating the top is a radiant red five-pointed star, the universal emblem of socialism and revolutionary unity. The lower portion of the design features a cog-wheel, representing the industry and the working class - the engine of economic progress.

Circling the central disc is a wreath of maize cobs, a tribute to the agricultural foundation of the country and its dedicated farmers. A red ribbon binds the maize, bearing the initials "RPB" - the emblem's shorthand for the state name, République Populaire du Bénin.

A Heraldic Declaration

The entire design exemplifies the socialist heraldic style, employing bold colors and simple geometric elements to convey its message. The juxtaposition of the star, cog, and maize cobs creates a visual narrative emphasizing the importance of both agriculture and industry, all under the banner of a socialist ideal. The vibrant use of green serves to tie the entire design back to the nation itself. This emblem is a striking and symbolic representation of a specific moment in Benin's 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.
