Insigne Benini (Benin) (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass showcases the intricate and symbolic design of the Insigne Benini, the Coat of Arms of Benin. The artwork is a faithful representation of the national emblem, a visual testament to the nation's history, values, and aspirations.

Shield Elements

The shield itself is quartered, displaying four distinct sections, each rich in meaning. The first quarter features a stylized Somba castle, rendered in gold (Or) against a silver (Argent) background. This castle represents the architectural heritage of the Somba people, a significant cultural group within Benin.

The second quarter is dominated by the Star of Benin, depicted in its natural, or proper, colors. This emblem serves as the nation's highest honor, symbolizing excellence and achievement.

The third quarter presents a green (vert) palm tree laden with red (gules) fruit, set against a silver (Argent) backdrop. The palm tree is a clear representation of Benin's rich natural resources and its connection to the land.

The final quarter depicts a black (sable) ship sailing on a blue (azure) sea. A red (gules) lozenge is sewn upon the line of quartering. The ship symbolizes Benin's maritime heritage and its historical involvement in trade and exploration.

Supporting Elements

Above the shield rests the crest, composed of two black (sable) cornucopias, overflowing with golden ears of corn. These cornucopias are symbols of prosperity, abundance, and the wealth of the nation.

The shield is flanked by two spotted panthers in gold (Or). As the national animal, the panthers represent the strength, courage, and resilience of the Beninese people.

The emblem is a powerful visual statement, reflecting the nation's diverse heritage and its vision for the future.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
