Escudo de Nicolás de Ovando (Costa Rica) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Description

This shot glass showcases the intricate and historically significant Escudo de Nicolás de Ovando, the coat of arms of the first royal governor of the West Indies. The design is a captivating display of heraldry, meticulously rendered across its surface.

The Quartered Shield

The central element is a quartered shield, elegantly divided into four distinct sections. Each quarter represents a different noble lineage, contributing to the overall symbolism of the design.

First Quarter: The Ovando Lineage

The first quarter is a field of shimmering silver (argent), emblazoned with a striking red (gules) cross flory. At the angles of the cross, four red scallop shells (veneras) are precisely positioned. This quarter symbolizes the Ovando family, with the cross representing Christian faith and the shells signifying pilgrimage and noble status.

Second Quarter: The Flores Lineage

The second quarter features a vibrant blue (azure) field. Upon this backdrop, five gold (or) fleur-de-lis are arranged in an X-pattern. A red (gules) bordure surrounds the pattern, adorned with eight gold (or) crosses. This quarter represents the Flores family, with the fleur-de-lis symbolizing purity and the crosses emphasizing faith and nobility.

Third Quarter: The Mogollón Lineage

The third quarter is a field of radiant gold (or). It showcases two black (sable) bears passant in pale, adding a touch of strength and courage to the design. This represents the Mogollón family and their associated values.

Fourth Quarter: The Gutiérrez Lineage

The fourth quarter, also on a field of gold (or), depicts a stone castle. This castle features five green (vert) fig leaves, two positioned on the central tower and three along the walls. This quarter symbolizes the Gutiérrez family, with the castle representing fortitude and the fig leaves representing abundance and peace.

The Order of Alcántara

Crowning the shield is a green cross of the Order of Alcántara, reflecting Ovando's esteemed membership. The cross signifies his status as a knight of this military and religious order, further enhancing the historical and symbolic depth of the design.

This shot glass offers a captivating glimpse into the heraldic traditions of early colonial administration. It is a stunning visual representation of power, faith, and the noble lineage of Nicolás de Ovando.

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.
