House of Colón COA 3 (Costa Rica) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished Coat of Arms of the House of Colón, a Genoese noble family most famously associated with explorer Christopher Columbus. The design is a powerful statement of heritage and maritime significance.

Heraldic Elements and Their Meaning

The artwork features a shield divided into four quarters, each contributing to a rich narrative. The first and fourth quarters display a golden castle against a red backdrop (Gules a castle or), symbolizing strength and unwavering fortitude. The second and third quarters present a red lion rampant on a blue field (Azure a lion rampant gules), representing courage, valor, and nobility.

The design is unified by a central silver wavy band, or fess wavy argent, which is charged with five golden anchors (or). This detail is central to the family's identity. The wavy band represents the sea, while the golden anchors directly symbolize the family's profound connection to naval exploration, particularly the voyages of Christopher Columbus.

Symbolism and Legacy

This coat of arms was officially awarded in 1502, recognizing the family's noble standing and contributions. While not the national emblem of Costa Rica, this design is a nod to the shared legacy of the Colón name and the historical impact of Columbus's voyages in the region. The design on this shot glass captures the essence of this historical 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.
