Francis Leopold McClintock's Sledge Flag Shot Glass: A Frozen Legacy

This shot glass features the iconic design of Francis Leopold McClintock's sledge flag, flown during the 1850-1851 expedition to find the lost John Franklin expedition. The artwork captures the essence of this historical flag, a poignant symbol of exploration and resilience in the face of the unforgiving Arctic.

Design Elements

The design is immediately recognizable: a striking blue cross boldly set against a pristine white background. This simple yet powerful design echoes the standards of naval tradition, a nod to the British Royal Navy that launched the expedition. The cross is perfectly centered, conveying a sense of order and precision.

Symbolism

The sledge flag design embodies several key meanings. First, it represents the indomitable spirit of the explorers. The flag was more than a mere marker; it was a symbol of camaraderie, pride, and identity amongst the men, especially when far from home in a harsh environment. The blue and white colors themselves evoke the icy landscapes of the Arctic, yet the flag served as a marker of familiarity for these men on a frozen ocean. It's a reminder of human endeavor in the face of adversity. This shot glass design allows one to reflect on the historical context and the brave individuals who carried this flag.

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.
