Emblem of the Abkhaz ASSR 1978-1992 Shot Glass: A Soviet Heraldic Icon

This shot glass features the emblem of the Abkhaz Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (ASSR), as it appeared from 1978 to 1992. The design, a striking example of Soviet heraldry, is a window into the complex political landscape of the late Soviet period.

Design Elements and Meaning

The central imagery echoes the classic Soviet aesthetic: a prominent hammer and sickle, symbols of industry and the working class, are crossed, radiating socialist ideals. A red star, another key element, signifies the communist party and its guiding principles. These core symbols are framed by wheat and cotton sheaves, representing the agricultural base and the collective effort of the region.

The design also incorporates crucial textual details, showcasing the ASSR's unique status. Inscriptions in two distinct languages are added to the design: "საქ. სსრ" (Georgian) and "Аҧ. АССР" (Abkhaz). These dual inscriptions, meaning "Georgian SSR" and "Abkhaz ASSR" respectively, highlight the multi-ethnic and multi-lingual nature of the autonomous republic and its relationship with the Georgian SSR.

The standard Soviet motto, "Workers of the world, unite!", appears in Georgian, Russian, and Abkhaz. This inscription underscores the shared ideology and the common goal of international socialist solidarity that binds the ASSR to its fellow socialist republics.

A Symbol of Layered Sovereignty

The emblem embodies the layered structure of sovereignty within the Soviet Union. It serves as a visual representation of the Abkhaz ASSR's position: an autonomous region within the Georgian SSR, which was itself a part of the USSR. The emblem's design speaks to a time when identity and governance were intricately intertwined within a complex political framework. This shot glass is a lasting testament to a specific moment in 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.
