Escudo de Miranda Cauca (Colombia) Shot Glass: Design Description

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms (escudo municipal) of Miranda, a municipality in the Colombian Department of Cauca. The design, created by María Guadalupe Álzate, is a vibrant representation of the town's history, geography, and economic foundations.

Visual Elements & Representation

The central element of the design is the heart-shaped shield. At the top, a red banner boldly displays "Mayo 7 de 1899," the date of the municipality's founding, firmly anchoring the identity in its historical roots.

The main field of the shield is meticulously divided. The upper portion depicts a bright blue sky with silver/white clouds, setting a serene backdrop. Below, the majestic Cordillera Central mountain range is rendered in green, illustrating Miranda's dramatic natural landscape.

Flowing from the mountains are representations of the Desbaratado and El Güengüe rivers, vital features of the local environment. At the foot of the mountains, the founding essence of Miranda is captured, featuring five houses, two traditional dwellings ("toldas"), and bundled objects ("bultos") symbolizing the initial settlement and economic beginnings.

Flanking this central scene are iconic symbols of the local flora. On the right, two samanes (a type of tree) stand tall, while three palms adorn the left, celebrating the area’s unique native plant life. Below the shield, supporting elements are incorporated. A branch of the cafeto (coffee plant) and caña de azúcar (sugar cane) are displayed, highlighting the critical role of agriculture in Miranda's economic development.

Significance of the Design

The design eloquently captures the essence of Miranda, with a clear focus on its historical roots, natural environment, and economic drivers. The combination of visual elements tells a compelling story, connecting the municipality's past, present, and the vital role of its landscape and agriculture.

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.
