Lesser Coat of Arms of Joseph Bonaparte Shot Glass: A Napoleonic Echo in Miniature

This striking shot glass showcases the Lesser Coat of Arms of Joseph Bonaparte as King of Spain, Golden Fleece Variant, a complex and layered design reflecting a pivotal moment in history. The artwork meticulously recreates the official heraldry used during Bonaparte's brief reign in Spain, a testament to an attempt to meld foreign rule with established tradition.

A Kingdom in Miniature

The central element of the design is the shield, quartered to represent the historical kingdoms that constituted Spain. Each quarter is a vibrant explosion of color and symbolism: the castle of Castile, the rampant lion of León, the red and gold stripes of Aragon, the chained design of Navarre, and the pomegranate of Granada, signifying a claim to legitimacy based on Spanish heritage.

The Bonaparte Influence

At the heart of the shield, an inescutcheon, or smaller shield, bears the imperial eagle, a clear representation of Joseph Bonaparte's familial connection to Napoleon and the broader Napoleonic Empire. This element serves as a reminder of the French influence behind the throne.

The Golden Fleece and Royal Crown

The collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, a prestigious symbol of chivalry, surrounds the shield. This detail represents an effort to link Bonaparte to the long tradition of Spanish monarchy, offering a sense of continuity. The design is crowned with the Spanish Royal Crown, further reinforcing Bonaparte's claim to the throne and authority as monarch.

This design is a microcosm of a turbulent era, encapsulating the complex mix of tradition, ambition, and political upheaval in a single, compelling visual statement.

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.
