Flag of Commodore of Beiyang Fleet 1890-1909 (China) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A flat-vector naval banner built from horizontal bands of red, amber yellow, blue and white, with an arrow-point cut at its fly end.

Visual Elements & Composition

Four colours share the field almost equally, each taking roughly a quarter of the surface, so no single hue dominates. The bands run horizontally across a plain rectangle, giving the flag a strong, orderly rhythm. The arrow-point cut at the fly end breaks the line of the rectangle and marks the design as a naval banner. Its restraint and clear colour blocking make the structure easy to read at a glance.

Meaning & Symbolism

This is the command flag associated with the commodore of the Beiyang Fleet, the Chinese naval force of the late Qing period, as used in the years 1890 to 1909. Its bands and cut identify rank within the fleet's chain of command. The design is a record of the naval hierarchy of that era, a visual standard for a commander's authority on the water at a time of major change for China's navy.

On the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the banner is seen at arm's length, much as a signal flag is read up close on a deck. The four bands stack neatly within the narrow vessel, and the arrow-point notch sits at the rim, where the eye lands first. It is a compact piece of naval history to lift at the bar.

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.
