Greater Coat of Arms of the Belgian Congo Shot Glass

This shot glass showcases a stunning representation of the Greater Coat of Arms of the Belgian Congo, a powerful symbol of the colonial period. The design centers around a quartered shield, prominently displaying the rich heraldic elements that defined this era.

The Central Shield

At the heart of the design is a field of azure blue, emblazoned with a golden lion rampant. The lion, a symbol of Belgian royal authority and courage, holds a spear adorned with the Belgian tricolor flag. This imagery underscores colonial control and the administration of the territory. Superimposed on the main shield is an inescutcheon, depicting the Belgian lion, a nod to the colony's status under Belgian sovereignty.

Supporting Elements and Embellishments

The shield is flanked by two majestic black African elephants, their presence symbolizing the strength of the Congo and the local fauna. Above the shield, the Royal Crown of Belgium reigns, representing the Belgian monarchy's sovereignty. The design may be further enriched with stylized tropical plants, emphasizing the richness and natural resources of the Congo.

Symbolic Layers

Every element within this coat of arms carries significant meaning. The lion symbolizes courage and Belgian royal authority. The elephants represent strength and the local fauna of the Congo. The spear and flag underscore colonial control and administration. This meticulously crafted design captures the historical essence and the complex legacy of the Belgian Congo.

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.
