Karafuto Government Tax Official Emblem (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a design that, while labeled as a "Karafuto Government Tax Official Emblem," represents the historical period of Japanese administration of Karafuto (southern Sakhalin) from 1905 to 1945. The imagery is firmly rooted in the administrative practices of that era, specifically for tax officials.

Design Elements and Symbolism

At the heart of the design lies the Imperial Chrysanthemum crest (kikumon). This prominent emblem signifies the Emperor and the authority of the Japanese government. Its presence denotes official sanction and governmental origin.

Overlaying or integrated with the kikumon are elements representing the tax official's role. These may include the depiction of scales, symbolizing justice, fairness, and the balance of revenue collection. The presence of documents or related administrative motifs underscores the practical function of tax collection and record-keeping. The combination of these symbols is intended to convey the official nature of the tax administration during the period of Japanese rule.

The overall composition is intended to be a visual representation of power, legitimacy, and the duties performed by tax officials. The use of traditional Japanese heraldic conventions is clear; therefore, this design is the historical equivalent of a governmental emblem, not a national coat of arms.

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.
