Francis Leopold McClintock's Sledge Flag Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass features a striking design inspired by the sledge flag of Sir Francis Leopold McClintock, carried during his Arctic expeditions of 1857-1859. The artwork directly mirrors the flag's visual identity, a poignant emblem of exploration and hope.

Color and Field

The primary element is a bold red field, the backdrop of the design. This powerful color evokes the spirit of adventure and the harsh realities of the Arctic environment faced by McClintock and his crew.

Border and Inscription

Encircling the red field is a clean, crisp white border. This contrasting edge both frames and emphasizes the central inscription: "THE LADY FRANKLIN." This stark white border creates a visual separation, enhancing the readability of the motto.

Symbolism

The central inscription, "THE LADY FRANKLIN", holds significant symbolism. It represents the explorers' reliance on divine guidance and their dedication to the search for the lost Franklin Expedition. The motto, positioned prominently within the design, acted as a constant reminder of their mission and fostered unity amongst the crew as they traversed the perilous Arctic ice.

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.
