Flag of Montreal 1935-1939 (Canada) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the first official municipal flag of Montreal, adopted in 1935 and in use until 1939, and it packs a whole city's identity into a single shield-shaped field.

Visual Elements & Composition

A red saltire cross splits the horizontal field into four quarters, and the white ground dominates the composition, taking up roughly half of the surface. Red carries most of the remaining colour, with green and brown picking out the foliage and the beaver, and a touch of purple in the flowers. At the centre sits a white disk holding a maple leaf, which draws the eye inward from every quarter. The flat vector style keeps every emblem crisp and readable, so each figure stands clearly on its own.

Meaning & Symbolism

Each quarter names one of the city's founding communities. A red rose with leaves stands for the English, a thistle for the Scots, a shamrock sprig for the Irish, and a fleur-de-lis for the French Canadians. The beaver gnawing a branch is the emblem of industry and civic labour that ties the four together. The maple leaf at the centre speaks for Canada as a whole. Taken together, the flag is a snapshot of how Montreal's government chose to see its citizens in the 1930s, and it remains a fine piece of Canadian heraldry for anyone tracing how cities have expressed who they are.

On the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small, held in the palm and lifted at close range, so every quarter of the flag is seen up close rather than from across a room. The cross and its four emblems fit the narrow, straight-sided form neatly, and the maple leaf lands right where your eye settles as the glass comes up for a toast. It makes a cheeky, conversation-starting piece for a home bar or a gift for someone with a taste for Canadian history.

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.
