Insigne Mauritiae (Mauritius) Shot Glass: Design Description

This shot glass showcases the intricate and symbolic design of the "Insigne Mauritiae," the official coat of arms of Mauritius.

The Shield: A Quartered Emblem

At the heart of the design is the shield, quartered to display four significant elements. The top left quadrant features a golden key on a red background, representing the strategic importance and historical defense of Mauritius. Across from it, on the top right, a white star on a red field symbolizes guidance and the island nation's colonial heritage.

The lower quadrants continue the narrative. On the bottom left, three palm trees rise from a green base, representing the lush flora and tropical nature of Mauritius. Finally, the bottom right depicts a sailing ship gliding across blue waves, a visual testament to the island's maritime heritage, trade, and exploration history.

Crest and Supporters: Emblems of Identity

Above the shield, the crest features the iconic dodo bird, an extinct endemic species. The dodo stands as a unique symbol, representing the distinct identity and natural heritage of Mauritius.

Flanking the shield are the supporters. A second dodo and another symbolic creature (historically sometimes a deer) stand in support, further anchoring the design with the island's unique fauna.

Motto: The Star and Key

Beneath the shield, the motto "Stella Clavisque Maris Indici" (Star and Key of the Indian Ocean) is proudly displayed. This Latin phrase reinforces Mauritius's strategic location in the Indian Ocean and summarizes the geographical and historical role of the island.

The design as a whole presents the layered history, natural beauty, strategic location, and unique identity of Mauritius. The design encapsulates the core values of the island nation.

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.
