Matera-Stemma2 (Italy) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the heraldic artistry of Matera, Italy, featuring its official coat of arms, the "Matera-Stemma2." The design is dominated by a vibrant azure (blue) shield, setting the stage for the city's symbolic imagery.

The Central Elements

At the crest of the shield, a prominent golden "M" immediately identifies Matera. Below, the design features a majestic white (argent) ox. The ox is depicted "passante," meaning it is walking, and carries a symbolic burden of three golden ears of wheat held in its mouth.

Symbolism of Authority

Adding a layer of distinction, the ox is crowned, a historical emblem of Matera's "libera" status, meaning it was free and directly under royal authority. The design is completed by the traditional municipal crown above the shield, further signifying the city's identity.

The Latin Motto

Beneath the shield, the motto "Bos lassus firmius figit pedem" ("The tired ox plants its foot more firmly") is displayed on a ribbon. This motto is a powerful statement of resilience, representing Matera's history of standing firm against oppression.

Meaning and Representation

The coat of arms is a rich blend of symbolism. The ox symbolizes strength and the city's agricultural roots, the wheat represents fertility and productivity, and the blue field, combined with the golden "M," is a bold symbol for Matera itself. The crowned ox and the motto underscore the city’s resistance and its historical journey.

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.
