Middle Coat of Arms of Charles V Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design showcases the intricate and powerful Middle Coat of Arms of Charles V, also known as Charles I as King of Spain. The design is a visual testament to his vast and varied domains across Europe.

The Imperial Eagle

The focal point of the design is the majestic black double-headed eagle, emblazoned upon a golden (Or) field. This eagle, the iconic symbol of the Holy Roman Empire, dominates the image, immediately establishing the Imperial authority and scope represented by Charles V.

The Quartered Escutcheon

At the center, the eagle’s chest bears an escutcheon, or smaller shield, intricately quartered to represent the complex inheritance of Charles V. The first quarter displays the arms of Castile and León, symbolic of his Spanish royal heritage. The second quarter features the arms of Aragon and Sicily, signifying control of these key Mediterranean territories. Austria, represented in the third quarter, acknowledges his connection to the Habsburg dynasty. The fourth quarter reflects Burgundy, another important inheritance within the vast web of his domains.

Additional Symbolic Elements

The escutcheon is further enriched with smaller shields, each a heraldic emblem of specific territories under Charles V's rule. These symbols include Flanders with a lion, Tyrol with its red and white pattern, Brabant also with a lion, Pomerania with a griffin, Burgundy with a cross, Granada represented by a pomegranate, Jerusalem with a gold cross, Naples with a red cross, and Navarre with a chain. These symbols create a complex narrative of power and rule, illustrating the extraordinary range of his holdings.

Imperial Embellishments

Above the central shield, the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire rests, a symbol of sovereignty. The shield is flanked by powerful supporters: a black eagle, reinforcing the connection to the Holy Roman Empire, and a lion, representing the Kingdom of Spain. The design also includes the Grand Collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, a prestigious emblem of chivalry. The motto "PLVS VLTRA" ("More Beyond") appears on the artwork, a powerful reference to Columbus's voyages and the expansion of the Spanish Empire into the New World.

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.
