Escudo de Caracas (Costa Rica) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the iconic coat of arms of Santiago de León de Caracas, the historical precursor to the modern city of Caracas, Venezuela. The design is a faithful representation of the coat of arms granted in 1591 by King Phillip II of Spain, later modified in 1766 by King Carlos III.

Key Visual Elements

The central element is a heraldic shield displaying a rampant brown lion on a silver field. The lion, a symbol of courage and strength, holds a golden scallop shell, within which is the red cross of Santiago, signifying the patron saint of the city and its connection to Spain. A five-pointed golden crown sits atop the shield, representing the city's status and honor.

Behind the shield, the design incorporates military trophies, reflecting the city's historical character. A scroll encircles the shield bearing the full name and founding year of the city: "Santiago de León de Caracas 1567", along with the inscription "Avemaría Santísima Sin Pecado Concebida En El Primer Instante De Su Ser Natural" which represents religious devotion.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design is rich in symbolism. The lion embodies valor and power, while the cross of Santiago highlights the city’s religious ties. The crown symbolizes royal recognition and civic pride. The inscription adds further emphasis to the city's religious identity. This emblem is a powerful reminder of Caracas's historical roots and its journey through time, serving not only as a city emblem, but also as an important symbol for the broader context of Venezuelan 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.
