File-Escudo de armas de los reyes Católicos 1475-1492 (Spain) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Description

This shot glass showcases the intricate heraldic design of the Escudo de armas de los Reyes Católicos, the Coat of Arms of the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile (1475-1492). The artwork is a faithful representation of this historical emblem, a powerful visual statement of political and cultural unification.

Key Visual Elements

The central element of the design is the quartered shield. The first and fourth quarters feature the arms of Castile (a red field with a gold castle) and León (a silver field with a purple crowned lion). The second and third quarters display the arms of Aragon (a gold field with four red vertical stripes). The addition of Granada, depicted as a natural pomegranate on a silver field ("entado en punta"), completes the shield, symbolizing the conquest of that realm in 1492.

The shield is typically crowned with a royal, open crown, reinforcing its monarchical significance.

Symbolism and Meaning

The coat of arms, as depicted on the shot glass, symbolizes the union of the major Iberian realms under Ferdinand and Isabella. The merging of the heraldic symbols of Castile, León, Aragon, and Granada represents the consolidation of a more unified Spain. The arrangement embodies their joint rule and the equal partnership they established.

Alongside the shield, the design may include additional elements. These would consist of a yoke (representing Ferdinand) and a bundle of arrows (representing Isabella). The motto “Tanto monta, monta tanto” ("they amount to the same") may also be included, further emphasizing the idea of unity and shared authority.

This shot glass design is a miniature representation of a pivotal moment in Spanish history, captured in its emblematic heraldry.

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.
