Flag of Kenya (1895-1921) Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass showcases the flag of the British East Africa Protectorate, the official flag used in the territory that would become Kenya from 1895 to approximately 1921. It's a striking visual representation of the colonial era.

Design Elements

The design of the flag is prominently featured. A deep blue field serves as the backdrop, reflecting the British Blue Ensign, a symbol of British colonial administration.

In the upper hoist (left) corner, the iconic Union Jack, the flag of the United Kingdom, is displayed. This placement signified British rule and influence.

The centerpiece of the design is the colonial badge. A white disc is presented on the right side of the flag. At its heart, a bold red lion passant guardant (walking lion with head facing forward) takes center stage. This lion, a symbol of strength and power, represented British presence. Above the lion, a regal crown is placed, further emphasizing British authority and sovereignty over the protectorate.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design of this flag encapsulates the colonial history of Kenya. The inclusion of the Union Jack and the crown directly alludes to British rule. The lion, a symbol of the British Empire, served as a potent visual reminder of colonial presence and control. It was flown with pride, on government buildings, and by ships.

This flag tells a story of an era of transition, setting the stage for the country's transformation.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
