Flag of Newfoundland 1870-1904 (Canada) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the red ensign that flew as the civil flag of Newfoundland from 1870 to 1904, when the colony was still a self-governing British territory and years away from joining Canada.

Visual Elements & Composition

A deep royal blue field dominates the artwork, with the crimson red border of the ensign framing it on the flag's outer edges. In the upper hoist corner sits a Union Jack canton, the small reminder of British sovereignty that anchors the whole composition. Toward the fly, a white circular roundel carries a gold crown and the words TERRA NOVA, the Latin for "new land". The flat vector style keeps every element crisp and clearly separated, so the roundel reads at a glance.

Meaning & Symbolism

The red ensign was standard British colonial practice, and Newfoundland used it mainly for civilian vessels, while government and naval ships flew the Union Jack. The roundel's badge drew on the coat of arms of Newfoundland, with golden lions and heraldic symbols that spoke to the colony's ties to Britain and to its own identity. The inscription TERRA NOVA points back to the island's name and its place as the "new land" of the British Empire's Atlantic frontier. The flag was replaced in 1904 as the heraldic symbols changed, which makes this design a snapshot of a distinct chapter in the island's history.

Holding a Piece of Colonial History

A shot glass is small, and it is held close, turned in the fingers and passed across a table, so the roundel and crown sit right in front of the eye. The crown and TERRA NOVA become the moment's conversation piece, the sort of detail a friend leans in to read. It makes a cheeky, thoughtful toast for anyone who loves maritime history or Canadian heritage.

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.
