Lesser Royal Coat of Arms of Spain Shot Glass Design

A Monarchical Legacy: The Pillars of Hercules Variant

This shot glass showcases a historic symbol of Spanish royalty: the Lesser Royal Coat of Arms, specifically the Pillars of Hercules variant, used between 1700-1868 and 1834-1930. The design is a condensed version of the full royal arms, emphasizing key heraldic elements.

Visual Elements and Their Meaning

The centerpiece is the quartered shield, representing the kingdoms unified under the Spanish crown. Within, you'll find the castles of Castile, the lions of León, and a central inescutcheon bearing the arms of the Bourbon-Anjou dynasty. Above the shield, a royal crown signifies the monarchical authority.

Flanking the shield are the iconic Pillars of Hercules, a motif that has deep roots in Spanish heraldry. Each pillar supports a scroll bearing the motto "PLUS ULTRA" ("further beyond"), a powerful symbol of exploration, ambition, and Spain's imperial reach beyond the known world. This variant is a visual testament to Spain’s historical power and royal lineage, a striking emblem of the Bourbon period.

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.
