Escudo de Zipaquirá Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass showcases the intricate and symbolic design of the Escudo de Zipaquirá, the Coat of Arms of Zipaquirá, Colombia. The artwork is a miniature representation of the full heraldic achievement.

The Shield and Crest

Dominating the design is the shield, a Spanish-style form, topped with a golden castle featuring three towers. This castle symbolizes the city's strength, nobility, and historical significance.

The Upper Half: A Story of Authority and Rebellion

The upper portion of the shield (the chief) presents an open book against a red backdrop. The right page displays a gold crown and the words "Capitulaciones Comuneros," representing royal authority and Zipaquirá's role in the Comuneros' revolt. The left page features a Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom, along with the date “Zipaquirá, junio 8 de 1781,” marking a key moment in the city's history.

The Lower Quarters: Local Heritage and Faith

The lower left quarter depicts a walled city on a blue field, with a mountain behind it, representing Zipaquirá itself and its connection to the land. The lower right quarter features the iconic Cathedral of Zipaquirá in gold, along with a bishop's mitre, symbolizing the city's religious heritage and its importance as a diocesan seat.

The Motto and Ornaments

Below the shield, the city's motto, "Todo por la Patria" ("All for the Fatherland"), underscores the city's patriotism. Green and yellow lambrequins (decorative mantling) frame the shield, reflecting Spanish heraldic tradition and the noble heritage of Zipaquirá.

Overall Symbolism

The overall design reflects a rich history, commemorating Zipaquirá's role in historical struggles, its geological wealth, religious heritage, and dedication to Colombia.

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.
