Flag of the Second Mexican Empire 1865-1867 (Mexico) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This flat-vector design shows the flag of the Second Mexican Empire as it stood during 1865 to 1867, when Emperor Maximilian I of Habsburg ruled Mexico with French support.

Visual Elements & Composition

Three equal vertical bands of dark green, white and crimson red make up the field, and the white centre band carries the emblem. Within an oval shield, an eagle with spread wings is perched on a prickly pear cactus and grasps a serpent. An imperial crown sits above it, and gold accents pick out the heraldry. Laurel and a circular border frame the device, with golden eagle-headed griffins and crossed swords flanking it, and a motto band runs across the lower edge reading "EQUIDAD EN LA JUSTICIA." The white field and the eagle dominate the composition.

Meaning & Symbolism

The eagle is the eagle of Anahuac, the emblem that has long stood for Mexico, and the crown is what sets the imperial flag apart from the republican one. The regulations of 1 November 1865 kept Mexico's traditional tricolour and added the monarchy's arms on top of it, which made the flag a statement of Maximilian's claim to rule. The empire ended in 1867 with the restoration of the republic, so the flag now records a short Habsburg chapter in Mexican history.

Where the Design Meets the Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the tricolour bands catch the eye as the glass is lifted, and the crowned eagle sits right in the line of sight at the centre. The fine detail of the emblem reads best at this scale, which makes the piece a neat way to bring 1860s heraldry to the bar cart or the shelf.

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.
