Escudo del Ayuntamiento de Ciudad de México 1521-1929 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historic coat of arms of Mexico City's municipal government, as it appeared from 1521 to 1929. The artwork directly reflects the emblem granted by the Spanish crown to represent the city after the conquest of the Aztec Empire.

Key Visual Elements

At the heart of the design is the eagle, prominently displayed. This eagle, often depicted perched on a prickly pear cactus, is a direct reference to the founding legend of Tenochtitlán, the Aztec capital. This imagery, deeply rooted in Mexican history, signifies the origin of Mexico City.

Above the eagle, the design includes a crown. This symbolizes the authority of the Spanish monarchy, representing the colonial period and the control exerted over the region following the conquest.

The overall composition is typically arranged within a traditional Spanish heraldic shield. The shield's shape provides a classic and recognizable framework for the significant symbolic elements it contains.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design speaks to a rich and complex history. It merges indigenous Aztec symbolism with the influence of the Spanish colonial period. The eagle on the cactus, a powerful image for the nation’s foundation, coexists with the crown of the Spanish monarchy, representing the transformation that occurred with the arrival of the Spanish.

The coat of arms, therefore, represents a visual narrative of Mexico City's development, encapsulating its origins and the impact of the colonial era. It’s a statement of identity forged from conquest, and the enduring legacies of both the Aztec civilization and the Spanish Empire.

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.
