Escudo de Potosí (Bolivia) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the iconic coat of arms of Potosí, Bolivia, a symbol steeped in history and representing the city's significant role during the colonial era.

Central Emblem

Dominating the design is the intricate heraldic shield, divided into two key sections. The upper portion features three castles, each signifying a kingdom: Castile, León, and Navarre. The lower section displays a rampant lion, a traditional symbol of royalty, representing courage and valor.

Imperial Presence

Crowning the shield is a crowned, double-headed eagle. This powerful emblem represents the Spanish Empire and the Habsburg dynasty's dominion, with each head gazing eastward and westward, symbolizing the vast reach of the empire. Above the shield sits a royal crown, further emphasizing the city's privileged status.

Symbolic Embellishments

The shield is flanked by laurel and palm branches, symbols of glory and triumph, highlighting the city's achievements. A banner gracefully arches across the design, bearing the Latin inscription: "CAESARIS POTENTIA PRO REXIS PRUDENTIA ISTE EXCELSUS MONTIS ET ARGENTUS ORBEM DEBELLARE VALENT UNIVERSUM". This translates to "The power of the emperor by the prudence of the king, this mountain and silver are capable of conquering the whole world," a testament to Potosí's immense wealth and influence derived from the Cerro Rico silver mines.

Overall Impression

The design captures the historical significance and cultural pride of Potosí, evoking its prosperous past as one of the world's richest cities. The layered symbolism tells a story of imperial power, noble ambition, and the source of its legendary wealth.

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.
