Malvaglia Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historic coat of arms of Malvaglia, a former municipality in Ticino, Switzerland. The design is a striking heraldic composition, reflecting the area's history and potential symbolism.

The Quartered Shield

The artwork centers on a shield divided into four quarters, a classic heraldic approach. This division suggests the merging of various elements or influences in the region's past.

First and Fourth Quarters: The Imperial Eagle

The first and fourth quarters feature a golden (Or) background, emblazoned with a black (Sable) eagle. This eagle, a powerful symbol of strength and vision, is detailed with a red tongue (langued), beak, and claws (membered). The stark contrast of the black eagle against the gold background creates a bold visual statement, indicative of dignity and perhaps even sovereignty.

Second and Third Quarters: The Silver Serpent

The second and third quarters present a vibrant red (Gules) background, each featuring a silver (Argent) serpent. The serpent, a less common heraldic symbol, offers layers of possible meaning. It could represent wisdom, renewal, or even guardianship. Its presence might also allude to the mountainous geography of the region, perhaps referencing winding passes or historical agreements.

Overall Impression

The design, with its alternating eagle and serpent, suggests a blend of powerful imagery. The overall composition hints at the influence of various families, local traditions, or historical events, all interwoven to create a distinct and memorable heraldic identity for Malvaglia.

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.
