Escudo de La Guajira Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass showcases the official coat of arms (Escudo) of La Guajira, a department in Colombia's Caribbean region. The design is a vibrant and symbolic representation of the region's history, culture, and natural resources.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The shield is divided into four unequal quarters, framed by a border of silver pearls symbolizing the peninsula and its pearl-rich coastal waters. Each quarter features a distinct design and carries specific meaning:

  • Upper Left Quarter: A green field (sinople) features a golden tower (or castle). This symbolizes the brotherhood between the people of La Guajira and outsiders, with the open doors and windows suggesting welcoming hospitality.
  • Upper Right Quarter: A silver (white) field holds an upright sword or florete, crossed by a pair of arrows. The sword represents the justice of the conquistadors, while the arrows symbolize the indigenous peoples of the region, acknowledging their presence and heritage.
  • Lower Left Quarter: This silver (white) quarter depicts two mountain ranges with natural-colored cacti, representing the diverse landscapes of La Guajira, specifically the northern and southern regions.
  • Lower Right Quarter: A green field (sinople) displays a golden rising sun. This symbolizes La Guajira’s warm, arid climate, and the absence of significant forests.

Colors and Their Meanings

The colors used in the Escudo are also rich in symbolism:

  • Green (Sinople): Represents the hope of the Guajiro farmers for their crops.
  • White (Silver): Symbolizes the purity and nobility of the indigenous people, and the department’s riches, like pearls and salt.
  • Gold (Oro): Represents the natural and cultural wealth of the department.
  • Red (Gules): Symbolizes the bravery and courage of the Guajiro people.

The overall design reflects the history and values of La Guajira, celebrating its people, its land, and its unique cultural identity.

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.
