Grand Coat of Arms of Joseph Bonaparte Shot Glass: A Napoleonic Fusion

This striking shot glass showcases the Grand Coat of Arms of Joseph Bonaparte, King of Spain (Type 2), a fascinating heraldic creation from a turbulent period in European history. The design vividly captures the attempt to merge Spanish tradition with Napoleonic imperial grandeur.

A Quartered Shield of Kingdoms

The central element of this design is the shield, quartered to represent the historical kingdoms of Spain. The top left quarter features the golden castle of Castile on a red field, symbolizing strength. Opposite it, the top right displays the purple lion of León on a silver background, representing royalty and courage. The bottom left quarter showcases the four red pallets of Aragon on a gold field, signifying sovereignty. The bottom right features the intricate chain design of Navarre, denoting unity and vigilance. At the base, an enté en point displays the pomegranate of Granada, signifying the final reconquest and the completion of Spain.

The Bonaparte Eagle: A Dynastic Heart

At the heart of the shield lies an escutcheon bearing the Bonaparte dynastic arms. This is a bold Napoleonic eagle, displayed with wings spread, grasping thunderbolts, all rendered in gold against a blue background. This central emblem unequivocally asserts the Bonapartist claim to the Spanish throne and the new "Imperial" order.

Imperial Crowns and Mantling: Napoleonic Elegance

Crowning the shield is a modified imperial-style crown, mirroring Napoleonic design. A red mantle lined with ermine, draped over the shield, further echoes the ceremonial arms and French imperial tradition, reinforcing the blending of influences. The addition of the Collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece may also be seen, a symbolic nod to Spanish chivalric heritage.

A Symbol of Transition

This design encapsulates a moment of profound political and cultural transition. It represents the attempt to impose a foreign dynastic order upon an established kingdom, utilizing heraldry as a potent visual tool to legitimize that claim and integrate Napoleonic ideals. The Grand Coat of Arms of Joseph Bonaparte is a symbol of both conquest and fusion, a potent visual statement of power and cultural influence.

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.
