Flag of Provincial Commander-in-Chief of Beiyang Fleet (China) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces a naval banner from China's late imperial navy: the flag of the Provincial Commander-in-Chief of the Beiyang Fleet, rendered as a flat, graphic tricolour of horizontal bands.

Visual Elements & Composition

The composition is built entirely from five horizontal bands, each in a solid colour: red, blue, yellow, white and black. No band dominates, so the eye moves evenly down the stack, and the flat vector treatment keeps every edge crisp. There is no pictorial detail and no decorative border, only the striped structure of the insignia itself. The result reads as formal and direct, the way a flag was meant to read when it was raised over a ship.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Beiyang Fleet was the northern squadron of the Qing dynasty navy, established in the 1880s and among the most modern naval forces in East Asia before its defeat in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 to 1895. Its command flags marked rank and authority at sea, so a provincial commander-in-chief's banner signalled a specific leadership post within that fleet's structure. The design stands as a record of how that command was identified during a turbulent chapter of China's maritime history.

Made for the Hand, Read at Close Range

A shot glass is small and held close, so the bands of this flag sit right at eye level as the glass is lifted. The horizontal stripes wrap the full circumference of the glass, which suits a design built on a repeated, level structure. It makes a conversation piece for a home bar or a collector's shelf, and a sharp reminder of naval history at the moment of the toast.

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.
