Middle Arms of the Duchy of Saxe-Altenburg Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass showcases the intricate Middle Arms of the Duchy of Saxe-Altenburg, a powerful heraldic emblem representing the duchy's identity and authority. The design is a miniature replica of the coat of arms used during the period of the independent duchy and its union with Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg.

Central Shield and Quartering

At the heart of the design is the central shield, meticulously quartered to showcase the union of various territories and familial lines under the rule of the House of Wettin. Each quarter likely bears distinct heraldic symbols, though their specific details will vary depending on the historical period and specific version of the arms.

Supporters and Crown

Flanking the central shield are depictions of golden lions. These majestic creatures symbolize strength, courage, and the noble lineage of the ruling family, adding a sense of regality and power to the design. Above the shield, an imperial crown sits proudly, indicating the duchy’s status within the Holy Roman Empire and its allegiance to the emperor. This element underscores the duchy's political standing and its connection to the greater imperial structure.

Mantling and Overall Impression

The shield is surrounded by ornate mantling, which further enhances the visual richness and historical significance of the design. The combined effect is a distinctive heraldic representation, reflecting the authority, heritage, and political standing of Saxe-Altenburg during its existence. The design pays homage to the legacy of this historical German duchy.

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.
