Faro (Portugal) Coat of Arms Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms of Faro, a vibrant symbol of this Portuguese coastal city. The design is a miniature heraldic masterpiece, faithfully recreating the intricate details of Faro's official emblem.

Central Shield and Symbolic Elements

The core of the design is a blue (azure) shield, forming the backdrop for the city’s identity. At the base, a wavy green (vert) field, represented by three undulating horizontal lines, symbolizes Faro's profound connection to the sea and its maritime heritage. Rising from this watery foundation is a formidable two-towered castle rendered in silver (argent) with black masonry detailing, representing the city’s historic fortifications, walls and civic pride.

Perched atop each tower of the castle are small blue shields (escutcheons), each emblazoned with five silver (white) roundels (“plates”). This is a deliberate echo of the Portuguese national shield, underscoring Faro’s strong ties to the nation and its cultural identity.

Religious and Celestial Imagery

Between the castle towers, the design features an image of the Virgin Mary, dressed in silver and blue, standing upon a silver crescent moon, and encircled by a golden halo (nimbus). This element conveys the city's religious significance and suggests that the Virgin Mary is the city’s patron saint or a figure of protection.

In the upper right corner (dexter canton), an eight-pointed gold (or) star (“estoile”) adds a celestial touch. In heraldry, stars often symbolize guidance, hope, or spiritual illumination.

Finishing Touches

The shield is topped with a classic silver mural crown, featuring five visible towers, this is a traditional heraldic symbol, signifying the city’s status. Below the detailed shield, a simple white scroll (ribbon) displays the inscription “CIDADE DE FARO” in bold, black uppercase letters, explicitly identifying the city.

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.
