Escudo de Nicolás de Ovando (Dominica) Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate heraldic design of the Escudo de Nicolás de Ovando, the coat of arms associated with the first royal governor of Hispaniola. The artwork is a faithful representation of this historical emblem, perfect for those interested in heraldry and colonial history.

The Quartered Shield

The core of the design is the quartered shield, which tells a story of noble lineage. Each quarter features a unique design, representing a different family that contributed to the Ovando ancestry:

  • First Quarter (Ovando): A silver field emblazoned with a red cross flory, accented by four red scallop shells. The cross symbolizes Christian faith, while the shells evoke pilgrimage and nobility.
  • Second Quarter (Flores): A blue field adorned with five gold fleur-de-lis arranged in an X-pattern. A red border, punctuated by eight gold crosses, encircles the composition. The fleur-de-lis represent purity, and the crosses underscore faith and nobility.
  • Third Quarter (Mogollón): A gold field featuring two black bears passant in pale. The bears signify strength and courage, reflecting the values of the Mogollón family.
  • Fourth Quarter (Gutiérrez): A gold field displaying a stone castle, adorned with five green fig leaves – two on the central tower and three on the walls. The castle represents fortitude, and the fig leaves symbolize abundance and peace.

Above the Shield

Above the shield, the design incorporates a green cross of the Order of Alcántara. This emblem denotes Ovando's status as a knight of this prestigious military and religious order, adding another layer of historical depth to the artwork.

This design is a detailed and symbolic representation of a significant historical figure's coat of arms, making it a compelling piece for those drawn to history, heraldry, and the rich symbolism embedded within such designs.

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.
