Lesser Royal Coat of Arms of Spain (Equatorial Guinea) Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass showcases a design deeply rooted in the history of Spanish colonial rule, specifically reflecting the Lesser Royal Coat of Arms of Spain, Pillars of Hercules variant, as it was adapted for use in Spanish Guinea (modern-day Equatorial Guinea).

Central Design: The Spanish Shield

At the heart of the design is a miniature representation of the Spanish shield. The shield's quarters vividly depict the historical kingdoms that formed the Spanish monarchy. The golden castle on a red field of Castile, the purple lion on a silver field of León, the red and gold vertical stripes of Aragon, and the gold chains on a red field of Navarre are all faithfully included. At the base of the shield, a small pomegranate signifies the Kingdom of Granada. A smaller escutcheon, bearing the three gold fleurs-de-lis of the Bourbon-Anjou dynasty, is also present.

Imperial Framing: Pillars of Hercules

Flanking the shield are the iconic Pillars of Hercules, two stylized columns. These columns, each wrapped with a red scroll bearing the Latin inscription "PLUS ULTRA" ("further beyond"), symbolize Spain's vast overseas empire and its exploration beyond the known world. This element is particularly significant, representing the colonial context of the design and Spain's global influence.

Symbolism

The design, as a whole, represents the union of the Spanish kingdoms under a single crown and the global ambitions of Spain during the colonial era. The Lesser Royal Arms were specifically employed for less formal purposes, giving the design an accessible, yet historically significant, visual identity. The Equatorial Guinea adaptation further symbolizes the colonial administration of the territory, tying its identity to the Spanish crown.

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.
