Flag of Newfoundland 1862-1870 (Canada) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the Newfoundland Red Ensign that flew over the colony between 1862 and 1870, a flag drawn from the period when Newfoundland stood apart as its own British colony.

Visual Elements & Composition

White dominates the field, with a strong red ground behind it and touches of gold and pearl picking out the central badge. The layout follows the classic Red Ensign pattern: a red field carrying the Union Jack in the upper corner, with the colony's emblem set on the fly. The shapes are plain and structured, a cross and a rectangle, which gives the artwork the formal, orderly look of a heraldic document. A gold crown sits among the emblems, anchoring the composition at its centre.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Union Jack in the canton declares the colony's allegiance to the British crown, and the red field marks the maritime traditions that shaped Victorian colonial flags. Saint George's Cross, the gold crown and the badge together describe a government that answered to London while building its own identity. That identity was short-lived: the flag represents a transitional chapter before Newfoundland adopted distinct colonial emblems in 1870, and before the territory eventually joined Canada in 1949 and later became Newfoundland and Labrador.

Raise a Glass to Colonial History

A shot glass is small, held close and tipped back in one motion, so the flag is seen up close rather than from across a room. The red and white fields read clearly at that distance, and the crown and cross sit right where your eye lands as you lift the glass. It makes a fitting piece for a history buff's bar cart, or a conversation starter on a shelf of travel souvenirs.

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.
