Greater Coat of Arms of Joseph II Shot Glass: A Miniature Imperial Display

This shot glass showcases a meticulously rendered representation of the Greater Coat of Arms of Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor. The design offers a striking miniature replica of the complex heraldic achievement, brimming with imperial symbolism and dynastic significance.

The Majestic Eagle

At the core of the design is the majestic black double-headed eagle, the very symbol of the Holy Roman Empire. This sable (black) eagle, displayed with its wings spread, is rendered with exquisite detail. Its golden (or) beaks and claws, and red (gules) tongues, are meticulously crafted, reflecting the Emperor's universal authority and the union of Church and State.

Imperial Regalia

Both heads of the eagle are crowned with Imperial crowns, representing Joseph II's sovereignty. Above the eagle, and the entire composition, sits the grand Reichskrone (Imperial Crown) the ancient Crown of Charlemagne, further emphasizing imperial authority.

The Dynastic Shield

Central to the eagle's breast is the complex composite shield, a testament to Joseph II's diverse hereditary lands. The shield is quartered, displaying key territories under his rule. These include the prominent arms of Austria (red with a silver stripe), Bohemia (red with a silver double-tailed lion), Hungary (red with silver bars and a double-cross), and Lorraine (gold with a red diagonal stripe and silver eagles). At the heart of the shield is the inescutcheon, a smaller shield, that combines the arms of Austria and Lorraine, representing the dynasty of Habsburg-Lorraine.

Imperial Instruments and Embellishments

The eagle's right claw grasps the Imperial sword and sceptre, symbols of power and justice. The left claw holds the Imperial orb (globus cruciger), representing the world under imperial dominion. Surrounding the eagle's neck, a beautifully rendered Collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, adds further prestige.

A Royal Pavilion

The entire composition is typically encompassed within a grand red velvet mantle, lined with ermine, secured with golden cords, and crowned with the Imperial Crown. This evokes the sovereign's full ceremonial and dynastic authority, further elevating the design.

Symbolic Meaning

The artwork encapsulates the dual nature of Joseph II's reign: his position as Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, elected by the princes; and his dynastic rule over the Habsburg lands. The design is a powerful display, expressing his authority and lineage.

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.
