Insigne Portugallicum Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the majestic Insigne Portugallicum, the Coat of Arms of Portugal. The design pays homage to centuries of history, representing the Portuguese nation with its rich symbolism.

The Central Shield

At the heart of the design lies the central shield (Escutcheon). Within, five blue shields are arranged in a cross formation. Each of these shields proudly displays five white dots, known as besants. This detail symbolizes the five wounds of Christ and commemorates the victories of Portugal's first king, Afonso I, over five Moorish kings.

The Red Border and Golden Castles

Surrounding the central shield is a striking red border (Bordure Gules). This border is adorned with seven golden castles. The castles represent the strong fortresses that historically defended the nation and stood as a testament to the expansion during the Reconquista.

Additional Elements

The design, as a representation, may feature an Armillary Sphere behind the shield. The Armillary Sphere, representing Portugal’s maritime discoveries and global exploration during the Age of Discoveries, is not mandatory to appear within this design. Finally, the traditional coat of arms may also include a royal crown, symbolizing the monarchy.

Symbolism in Brief

The design encapsulates significant symbolism: the blue shields with white dots speak of victory, divine protection, and Portugal's Christian heritage. The red border with golden castles signifies national defense, territorial expansion, and the nation’s sovereignty. The potential inclusion of the Armillary Sphere highlights Portugal’s global influence during its Age of Discoveries.

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.
