Escudo del Municipio Andrés Bello (Venezuela) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate design of the official coat of arms of the Municipio Andrés Bello, located in the state of Mérida, Venezuela. The design is rich in symbolism, reflecting the history, geography, and economic activities of the municipality.

Design Elements & Representation

The central element is the shield, "medio partido y cortado," divided vertically and horizontally with a striking gold border. A prominent gold band, bearing the words "MUNICIPIO ANDRÉS BELLO" in black, boldly traverses the shield.

Above the shield, acting as a crest, is a portrait of Don Andrés Bello, the municipality's namesake, derived from a painting by Francisco Michelena y Rojas. Four gold stars grace the area above the portrait, each representing one of the municipality's four parishes.

The shield itself is divided into three distinct sections. The dexter (right) quarter features a young bull, a symbol of the thriving livestock and dairy industry, set against a vibrant green background. The sinister (left) quarter is adorned with a black diagonal bar, and symbols of the region's fertile agricultural products, such as maize, plantains, yucca, and papaya, stand on a silver background. The base of the shield presents an oil rig with workers in full production, a clear nod to the significance of oil extraction in the area.

Supporting the entire design is a tricolor ribbon, bearing the date "26 de febrero de 1995," the municipality's founding date. The ribbon is tied in the middle like a bow, and the knot is flanked by a maize stalk and a plantain leaf, further emphasizing the fertile land.

Symbolism

The design tells a story. The portrait of Andrés Bello honors the renowned intellectual. The stars represent the local administrative divisions. The bull and agricultural imagery celebrate primary production. The oil rig and drilling equipment reflect the importance of natural resources. The date on the ribbon and the municipality's name on the band establish the identity and official status.

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.
