Flag of the Regiment of Rio de la Plata (Argentina) Shot Glass 1.5oz

Three horizontal bands in light blue and white carry a laurel-framed emblem, a red liberty cap and clasped hands, all drawn from a military banner of the 1820s.

Visual Elements & Composition

The layout is a stack of horizontal bands, with the light blue and white giving the design its main colour weight. A green and gold accent appears among the emblems, and red comes in through the liberty cap. The central oval emblem, ringed by a laurel wreath, anchors the image. Around it sit a sun with a face and rays at the left edge, a bound staff with a ribbon bow at the right, and two hands gripping a pole. The flat vector style keeps each motif crisp and separate.

Meaning & Symbolism

This banner belonged to a regiment formed around 1823 from the remnants of earlier battalions and fabricated in Lima during the Wars of Independence. It is a regimental ensign, so its emblems mark a fighting unit, not the wider state. The sun and the blue and white palette tie it to the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata, while the liberty cap and clasped hands speak of freedom and unity. The laurel wreath signals victory and honour. The original banner is preserved in the Museo Histórico Nacional in Buenos Aires.

On the Shot Glass

A 1.5oz shot glass is small and held close, so the emblem is seen at near eye level as the glass is raised, with the laurel oval the first thing to catch the eye. The clear glass shows the blue and white bands at full strength. Like a standard carried into the field, it is meant to be lifted and held up.

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.
