Mezzovico-Vira Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate and meaningful coat of arms of Mezzovico-Vira, a municipality in the canton of Ticino, Switzerland. The design is a direct representation of the official heraldic blazon, offering a visually compelling glimpse into the region's rich heritage.

Design Elements

The coat of arms is divided vertically, a technique known as "per pale," creating two distinct fields. The left side presents a silver (argent) background, emblazoned with a vibrant green (vert) hemp plant bearing golden (or) fruits. This element immediately speaks to the area's connection to the Canepa family, prominent artists with ties to the region, with the hemp plant serving as a visual representation of their legacy.

The right side contrasts with a blue (azure) field. Emerging from the base is a golden (or) crozier, a symbol of ecclesiastical authority, placed behind a silver (argent) shield adorned with a bold red (gules) cross. The inclusion of the crozier and cross pays homage to Bishop Enrico Silvio (1556โ€“1612), highlighting the area's significant religious history.

Symbolism in Color and Form

The choice of colors and forms is deliberately symbolic. The green of the hemp plant, the gold of the fruits and crozier, and the red of the cross all contribute to the design's overall meaning. The silver and blue fields provide a contrasting backdrop, further emphasizing the heraldic figures and their associated meanings.

The overall design is a carefully considered blend of familial and ecclesiastical symbols, visually representing the cultural identity and historical narrative of Mezzovico-Vira.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
