Matera-Stemma (Italy) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the official coat of arms, or stemma, of Matera, the captivating capital of the Basilicata region in southern Italy. The design is a vibrant embodiment of the city's rich history and enduring spirit.

Heraldic Elements in Miniature

The central focus is the heraldic composition, expertly reproduced on the glass. A striking blue background, representing loyalty and truth, forms the foundation. Upon this, a majestic white ox, symbolizing the town's agricultural roots and inherent strength, is depicted "passant" – that is, walking. The ox is crowned in gold, signifying Matera's historical autonomy and freedom from feudal rule. Its posture evokes a sense of both grace and fortitude.

Symbolism of the Harvest

The ox holds within its mouth a trio of silver ears of wheat, arranged horizontally. This detail is a potent representation of fertility, prosperity, and the agricultural significance deeply embedded in the region's identity. The placement of these wheat ears within the ox's grasp visually connects strength with abundance, hinting at a relationship between hard work and its reward.

A Legacy of Resilience

The overall design reflects the spirit of the people of Matera, who, through hardship, have always shown perseverance. The image captures the essence of this historical event and the town's ability to overcome difficult times. It presents the enduring symbolism of the city’s heart and soul.

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.
