Flag of Palo Alto California (United States) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the flag of Palo Alto, California, a civic emblem built around a circular city seal and a single historic redwood.

Visual Elements & Composition

Bands of forest green and slate indigo carry the flag's field, with golden yellow and white providing the lighter notes. The green and indigo dominate, and the eye settles on the golden yellow of the seal at the centre. Within the circular badge sits the coast redwood tree, drawn in flat, clean shapes. Lettering wraps the seal and reads PALO ALTO, INCORPORATED, APRIL 16, 1894 and CALIFORNIA, so the date and place are set into the artwork itself.

Meaning & Symbolism

The blue and green bands stand for the city's clear skies and its abundance of trees. The redwood, known as El Palo Alto, is the historic landmark that gave the city its name and still marks both the community and Stanford University. The 1894 incorporation date anchors the emblem in the town's founding. Christa Gupton, a city employee, designed the flag, and it was adopted in 1967, so the artwork records a century-old civic identity given a modern, deliberate form.

Holding the Flag Close

A shot glass is small enough to lift to eye level, so the seal sits right in the line of sight as the glass is raised. The redwood and its lettering are read up close, one detail at a time, the way a toast is taken. Set on a bar cart or passed round a table, this piece turns a simple round of drinks into a conversation about where the flag comes from, and a cheeky reminder of home for anyone who has ever lived in or passed through Palo Alto.

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.
