Medium Coat of Arms of the King of Rwanda Shield (Rwanda) Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass features a design derived from the Medium Coat of Arms of the King of Rwanda, specifically focusing on the shield element. The shield itself is crafted in a traditional Bantu-style shape, providing a connection to Rwandan heritage. Its field is azure, or blue, and is adorned with gold charges.

Key Elements and Symbolism

The central and most prominent element is the kalinga, the sacred dynastic drum of the Rwandan king. This drum, depicted within the shield, is a powerful symbol of royal authority and the king's voice. Its presence signifies the importance of the monarchy within Rwandan culture. Loss or capture of the kalinga was considered a great disaster for the kingdom.

Surrounding the kalinga are three five-pointed stars, also known as mullets. These stars represent the three principal ethnic groups of Rwanda: the Tutsi, Hutu, and Twa. This symbolizes unity and the importance of all three groups to the prosperity of the kingdom.

The overall design reflects a blending of traditional Rwandan royal symbolism with the conventions of European-style heraldry, reflecting the monarchy's modern history.

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.
