Oil Rivers Protectorate (1884-1893) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass commemorates the flag of the Oil Rivers Protectorate, a British protectorate in what is now Nigeria. The design evokes the historical flag believed to have been used during this period, offering a glimpse into colonial symbolism.

Visual Elements and Representation

The design prominently features the blue ensign, the foundation of the flag. This consists of a dark blue field, representing the vastness of the sea, with the Union Jack, the flag of the United Kingdom, in the upper left corner, also known as the canton. This signifies British sovereignty and control over the protectorate.

The fly of the flag, the portion farthest from the flagpole, would have held a badge or emblem representing the Oil Rivers Protectorate. While the exact design of this emblem is uncertain, it would have been a central visual element intended to distinguish the protectorate's flag. Though the exact depiction isn't known, the design attempts to represent what that emblem would represent: the identity of the Oil Rivers Protectorate.

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.
