Grand Coat of Arms of Joseph Bonaparte Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate and symbolic design of the Grand Coat of Arms of Joseph Bonaparte as King of Spain, used during his reign from 1808 to 1813. The artwork presents a compelling fusion of Spanish heraldic tradition and Napoleonic imperial imagery.

Shield Composition

The central element is a shield, meticulously divided into quarters and an inescutcheon. The quarters represent the historic Spanish kingdoms: Castile, with its golden castle; León, featuring a purple rampant lion; Aragon, displaying red pallets; and Navarre, showcasing a golden chain with an emerald at its center. The base displays Granada's pomegranate.

At the heart of the shield lies an inescutcheon, bearing the iconic Napoleonic imperial symbol – a golden eagle displayed against a blue background, a symbol of Bonaparte dynasty and authority.

Imperial & Royal Elements

Crowning the entire composition is the royal crown of Spain, signifying Joseph Bonaparte's claim to the Spanish throne. The collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece may appear in some versions, adding to the ceremonial prestige. The design incorporates elaborate mantling and decorative flourishes, blending Spanish royal aesthetics with Napoleonic styles.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design's symbolism is layered. The inclusion of the historic Spanish kingdoms (Castile, León, Aragon, Navarre, and Granada) directly emphasizes Joseph's claim to legitimacy within Spain. The prominent Bonaparte inescutcheon (the eagle) firmly declares dynastic and Napoleonic authority. The Royal Crown reinforces his claim as monarch. The Golden Fleece and other ornate elements contribute ceremonial prestige and chivalric symbolism.

The entire composition reflects a calculated strategy to legitimize Joseph Bonaparte’s rule, weaving together Spanish historical context with Napoleonic imperial power during a complex political period. This shot glass design captures this unique historical narrative.

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.
