Greater Coat of Arms of Charles V Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate and powerful visual language of the Greater Coat of Arms of Charles V, also known as Charles I of Spain. The design is a miniature replica of this complex heraldic emblem, a testament to the vast territories and titles held by this pivotal historical figure.

Central Shield: A Tapestry of Power

The heart of the design is dominated by the multi-quartered central shield. Each quarter tells a story of dominion: the familiar emblems of Castile and León (castle and lion) for the Spanish kingdoms, the vibrant stripes of Aragon and Sicily, and the Habsburg's ancestral marks, including the red fess on a white field of Austria. Burgundy, Franche-Comté, and various representations of the Netherlands further contribute to the shield's comprehensive portrayal of the emperor's holdings. Additional elements such as Naples, the Jerusalem cross (a claim of sovereignty), and the pomegranate symbol of Granada (conquered territory) may also be present, depending on the specific design used.

Imperial Grandeur and Symbolic Supporters

Above the central shield, the Imperial crown of the Holy Roman Emperor signifies Charles V's position as a supreme ruler. This is often complimented by the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, a prestigious chivalric order, which further emphasizes the noble status. The shield is supported by symbolic animals, such as crowned lions, which stand as guardians, enhancing the regal imagery. Richly decorated mantling, often in red and gold, drapes elegantly behind the shield, adding a layer of visual depth and opulence.

A Visual Declaration of Dominion

The overall composition of the design on the shot glass acts as a visual declaration of Charles V's dual identity as Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain. It captures the essence of his expansive Habsburg dominions, portraying a complex and powerful symbol of his era, conveying a message of authority, power, and historical significance.

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.
