Escudo del Quindío (Colombia) Shot Glass: Design & Symbolism

This shot glass features the official Coat of Arms (Escudo) of the Quindío Department in Colombia, a vibrant representation of the region's identity and heritage.

Design Elements & Representation

The design is centered around a circular (roundel) frame with a striking red border, providing a bold visual boundary. Within this, an "English-style" shield with a blue ("azure") background captures the eye.

Central Imagery: Colonization and Heritage

At the shield's heart is a symbolic image of the region's history: a tree trunk (couped), with an axe embedded within. This powerful image symbolizes the hard work of the early settlers, particularly those from Antioquia, who cleared the land to begin the region's growth.

Coffee: A Symbol of Culture & Economy

Flanking the central shield are two mature coffee branches (cafeto), elegantly meeting at the base. These branches highlight the vital importance of coffee to the Quindío region, both economically and culturally.

Motto & Founding Date

A gold (or yellow) ribbon gracefully arches across the top of the design, bearing the inspiring motto: "Joven, Rico, Poderoso" (“Young, Rich, Powerful”). This statement encapsulates Quindío's youthful spirit, economic prosperity, and aspirations for influence. The date "1966" is placed at the base of the tree trunk, marking the year the department was officially established.

Colors & Overall Impression

The vibrant color palette contributes to the design's visual impact: the rich red border provides a striking frame. The coffee branches are depicted in their natural green and red colors. The overall design radiates pride, strength, and the promise of growth, reflecting the spirit of the Quindío 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.
