Escudo San Pedro Cholula (Costa Rica) Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate design of the Escudo de Armas de San Pedro Cholula, a symbol rich in history and cultural meaning, originally from Cholula, Puebla, Mexico. The artwork is a vibrant representation of the official coat of arms, a powerful emblem.

Design Breakdown

The design is divided into four distinct sections, or "quarters", each telling a story:

First Quarter: A field of green ("sinople") holds two golden clarions (trumpets) accompanied by five golden stars arranged in an "X" formation. This symbolizes the music, light, and celebratory nature of the region.

Second Quarter: A golden background ("oro") features a prominent pyramid crowned by a purple cross, representing the Great Pyramid of Cholula, the largest in pre-Hispanic America. This symbolizes the fusion of pre-Hispanic and Spanish cultures, a key element of the city's history.

Third Quarter: A red background ("gules") features a powerful lion, armed with a sword, and with black stripes, representing the courage, valor, and honor of the people of Cholula.

Fourth Quarter: A blue background ("azur") displays a stylized representation of an irrigation channel ("acequia"), tule plants, and four ducks. This section highlights the importance of water and the natural biodiversity of the region.

The entire design is topped with a crest featuring leaves and a gold scroll. On the scroll, the words "San Pedro Cholula" are displayed, the name of the place from where the coat of arms originates.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design as a whole is a testament to the rich heritage of San Pedro Cholula. The elements combine to create a deeply symbolic image, celebrating the city's history, its cultural identity, and its natural environment. The visual display, as presented on this shot glass, is an evocative reminder of this rich heritage.

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.
