Greater Arms of Charles I of Spain / Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor Shot Glass - Design Description

A Royal Tapestry in Miniature

This shot glass showcases a highly detailed rendition of the Greater Arms of Charles I of Spain, a breathtaking heraldic achievement representing the vast and complex empire of the Holy Roman Emperor. The design is a miniature masterpiece, capturing the essence of royal power and the geographical breadth of Charles V's dominion.

The Shield: A Quartered Empire

The centerpiece of the design is the meticulously rendered shield, meticulously divided to represent the various territories under Charles's rule. The shield is quartered and overlaid with an inescutcheon, providing a comprehensive visual guide to the Emperor's holdings. The first quarter displays the emblems of the Spanish realms.

The first quarter is a bold representation of Castile with a golden castle. The second quarter features the rampant purple lion of Leon. The third quarter represents Aragon's four red pallets. The fourth quarter is a symbol of Sicily, a per saltire with the Aragon colors and a black eagle. The base of the shield presents Navarre, with its cross and chains of gold, and Granada, with a vibrant green-leafed pomegranate.

The inescutcheon, a shield within a shield, presents the Habsburg dynasty's heart: the simple elegance of Austria's red field and silver fess.

Imperial Embellishments

The design is crowned with the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire, a symbol of sovereign authority. Two crowned double-headed eagles serve as supporters and are the most dominant visual element on the glass, each perched as if to guard the imperial emblem. These majestic eagles, with their wings displayed, are often adorned with one or two imperial crowns.

Circling the entire composition is the Collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, a prestigious honor, which underlines Charles's role as sovereign of the order.

The shot glass’s design is a testament to the grandeur of the Habsburg empire, the fusion of symbols portraying a multi-cultural empire unified under one ruler.

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.
