Escudo del Quiché (Guatemala) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate design of the official coat of arms of the Quiché department in Guatemala. The artwork is rich with symbolism, reflecting the region's cultural, historical, and geographical heritage, particularly of the Mayan K'iche' people.

Central Elements

At the heart of the design, a green map of the Quiché department dominates the center, representing the area's agricultural prosperity and lush vegetation. Positioned at the location of Santa Cruz del Quiché is the depiction of the Temple of Tohil, a symbol of Q’umarkaj, the ancient capital of the K'iche' empire.

Flanking Imagery

On the left side, the design features a Mayan face, honoring the region's morería industry and the national hero, Tecún Umán. Opposite, on the right, a quetzal bird is displayed, embodying peace and, according to Mayan mythology, the form in which Tecún Umán would transform, as well as being his nahual.

Additional Details

The design further incorporates a circle of 18 hieroglyphs, each representing the municipalities that composed the department in 1972. Above this, an open book, representing the Popol Vuh – Guatemala’s national book, found in Chichicastenango - arches over the scene, bearing the name of the department. Completing the design at the bottom is a colorful representation of traditional woven cloth, integral to the local industry, accompanied by the letter "Q," signifying Quiché.

Color and Framework

The coat of arms is elegantly framed by a laurel wreath and ribbons in green, white, and red. These colors reference the Three Guarantees of the Plan of Iguala, which were crucial to Guatemalan independence. Together, these elements convey the rich history and enduring spirit of the Quiché department.

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.
