Escudo-UdeA (Colombia) Shot Glass: Design and Symbolism

This shot glass showcases the iconic Escudo-UdeA, the coat of arms of the Universidad de Antioquia in Colombia. The design, originally created in 1922 by architect Horacio Rodríguez, is a rich tapestry of symbolism representing the university's core values and historical legacy.

Key Visual Elements

The design features an oval shape, deviating from the typical shield. At the heart of the emblem, in the upper central portion, rests an anchor. Connected by a chain, the anchor symbolizes a "safe port" – a place of stability and refuge, where knowledge provides security and orients towards the future. This symbol also traditionally signifies hope, faith, and salvation.

A prominent white band, known as a "faja blanca," stretches across the middle of the design. The word "Medellín" is inscribed upon it in green, connecting the university to its home city. Hanging from the ends of this band are two flaming torches. Representing science and knowledge, the torches burn brightly, symbolizing enlightenment and the illumination of human understanding.

Meaning and Interpretation

The overall composition is more than just a decorative arrangement; it is a visual statement. The anchor, a cornerstone of the design, reinforces the university's self-perception as a sanctuary of knowledge. The torches underscore the value of learning and the expansion of human understanding.

The Escudo-UdeA, as a whole, serves as a visual "fingerprint" of the university, reflecting both its deep historical roots and a progressive outlook. It's a reminder of tradition and the constant pursuit of advancement.

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.
