Flag of the Republic of the Rio Grande (Mexico) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design shows the banner of the Republic of the Rio Grande, a short-lived 1840 breakaway state, with three white stars stacked on the hoist and three horizontal bars beside them.

Visual Elements & Composition

The flag divides into two zones. On the hoist side, a panel carries three white five-pointed stars arranged one above the other, and that vertical group is the first thing the eye lands on. The remaining field is a stack of three horizontal bars in white, red and black. Blue appears in the upper hoist corner of the original flag, and the bars run the full width of the fly, so the layout reads as a clean split between a starred panel and a striped field. The shapes are flat and geometric, and no text appears.

Meaning & Symbolism

The three stars stand for the three states that seceded to form the republic: Coahuila, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas. The republic was declared in 1840 by federalist leaders opposed to the centralist government in Mexico City, and Laredo served as its capital. It lasted 283 days before Mexican troops defeated it, which makes this one of the shortest-lived flags in the region's history. Its bold, historic character comes from that brief, contested moment of nineteenth-century regional independence.

Three Stars at Close Range

A 1.5oz shot glass is small and held close, so the stacked stars are read at eye level as the glass comes up to the mouth. The horizontal bars run around the curve of the vessel, and as the glass is turned, the white, red and black stripes move past one another. A flag built around three points of light suits a glass this size, where the group of stars is seen whole in a single look.

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.
