Escudo de Alicún de Ortega Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate coat of arms (escudo) of Alicún de Ortega, a municipality in the province of Granada, Spain. The design is a vibrant representation of the town's history, heritage, and geography, meticulously rendered to capture its symbolic depth.

A Quartered Shield: A Story in Four Parts

The shield itself is divided into four distinct quadrants, each holding a unique symbolic element:

  • First Quarter (Top-Left): A blue background, or "azure," is adorned with three silver crescents. These crescent moons subtly acknowledge the town's historical connection to Al-Andalus, the period of Moorish rule.
  • Second Quarter (Top-Right): Against a red, or "gules," backdrop, three silver towers stand tall. These represent the defensive and strategic importance of Alicún de Ortega, particularly during the Middle Ages as a frontier town.
  • Third Quarter (Bottom-Left): A green, or "sinople," field features a silver key positioned diagonally, or "in band." This further emphasizes the strategic significance, perhaps symbolizing access or control.
  • Fourth Quarter (Bottom-Right): The final quarter presents a blue field with three silver hills rising above wavy lines of silver and blue. This visually depicts the mountainous terrain and water features characteristic of the local landscape.

The Heart of the Matter: The Escusón

At the center of the shield lies a smaller silver shield, or "escusón." Within this central element is a gold pomegranate, a clear reference to the province and the Kingdom of Granada, complete with red fruit and green leaves.

Topping It Off: The Royal Crown

Crowning the shield is a royal closed crown, a common feature in Spanish municipal coats of arms. It signals the town's status as a municipality and signifies its historical connections to the Crown.

In sum, the design is a masterful tapestry woven with historical, geographic, and heraldic symbolism, offering a visual journey through the heritage of Alicún de Ortega.

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.
