Escudo de Pozo Almonte (Chile) Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass showcases the intricate and meaningful design of the Escudo de Pozo Almonte, the official coat of arms of the Chilean commune. The artwork is a microcosm of the town's history, culture, and environment, presented in a visually striking format.

Shield Structure & Elements

The design features a quartered shield, divided into four distinct sections, each contributing a vital piece of the town's narrative. Above the shield, a banner displays "POZO ALMONTE," the town's name, while a crown, positioned at the top, signifies municipal status.

Flanking the shield are stylized palm or laurel branches, symbolizing honor and distinction.

Quarter Interpretations

The upper-left quarter depicts a vibrant sun shining in a blue sky, illuminating a green tree rooted in golden ground, and a prominent well or tower. These elements collectively evoke the life-giving forces of the arid desert region, and a direct visual reference to the meaning of "Pozo Almonte" (Well of Almonte).

The upper-right quarter showcases a white factory or industrial building set against a golden ground, with a stylized mountain or hill in the background. This element pays homage to Pozo Almonte's rich industrial heritage, specifically its critical role in the nitrate ("salitre") mining industry.

Spanning the bottom half of the shield is the image of a church, which is likely a representation of the Sanctuary of La Tirana, a central cultural and religious landmark. Flanking the church on either side are dynamic red "diablitos" or mask-like figures. These represent the "diablada," a traditional dance performed at the annual festival of La Tirana.

Symbolism and Representation

The artwork is a careful blend of symbols, telling a compelling story. The sun and tree symbolize life within the desert, while the well is a literal connection to the town's name and its connection to water. The factory building and industrial motif celebrate the area's rich nitrate-mining history. The church and "diablitos" represent faith, cultural events, and the spirit of the community.

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.
