Great Arms of Prince Wilhelm of Wied (Albania) Shot Glass

This shot glass showcases the majestic Great Arms of Prince Wilhelm of Wied, a symbol of his brief reign as Prince of Albania in 1914. The design is a rich tapestry of heraldic elements, meticulously crafted to represent both Albanian national identity and the Prince's lineage.

The Regal Eagle

At the heart of the design is a commanding black, double-headed eagle, a powerful symbol traditionally associated with Albania. Its gold claws and beaks, and red tongues, give the eagle a striking appearance. In each claw, the eagle clutches bundles of four golden thunderbolts, adding a touch of power and authority.

The Shield of Heritage

The eagle's breast proudly displays a smaller shield (an escutcheon). Upon this shield is a natural-colored peacock in its full display – a nod to the Wied family, from which Prince Wilhelm hailed. The border of this shield features a distinctive "compony" pattern of red and black checks, framed by a gold edge.

Royal Mantle and Crown

The entire composition is draped under a regal purple princely mantle, lined with ermine and fringed with gold. Above, an Albanian princely crown completes the royal display, signifying Prince Wilhelm’s position. A flowing blue ribbon, emblazoned with the Latin motto "FIDELITATE ET VERITATE" ("Loyalty and Truth") in gold letters, adds a layer of honor and principle to the image.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design masterfully blends Albanian national pride (the eagle) with the Prince's family heritage (the peacock). It is a visual representation of the union of Albanian national identity with the Wied family's legacy, encapsulated in a design created to emphasize his rule over Albania and his place within a dynastic heritage.

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.
