Middle Coat of Arms of Joseph Bonaparte - Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate Middle Coat of Arms of Joseph Bonaparte, designed during his reign as King of Spain (1808-1813). The artwork presents a balanced blend of heraldic formality and practicality, reflecting its role in official documentation and ceremonial display.

Shield & Symbolism

The core of the design is the shield, or escutcheon. It is "quarterly," divided into four sections that represent the historic Spanish kingdoms. The quarters feature iconic imagery: the castle of Castile, the rampant lion of León, the red and gold stripes of Aragon, and the chain of Navarre, each conveying dynastic legitimacy and continuity with the Spanish heritage. A central emerald anchors the chains in the Navarre section.

At the center of the shield is the "inescutcheon," a smaller shield within the main one. This features the imperial eagle of the Bonaparte lineage, a powerful symbol of Napoleonic authority and Joseph's dynastic claim. The eagle's presence highlights the influence of Napoleon Bonaparte and the new ruling family.

Royal Emblems & Ceremonial Display

The design is crowned with the Spanish Royal Crown, a clear indicator of sovereignty and kingship. Its presence unequivocally proclaims Joseph Bonaparte's status as the monarch.

The design also includes some ceremonial ornamentation, such as the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece. The limited mantling provides an element of grandeur, reflecting the important role of Joseph Bonaparte as king. The absence of traditional supporters (figures flanking the shield) keeps the design focused and uncluttered.

Visual Balance & Meaning

The overall composition of the shot glass design expertly balances visual impact with clarity. The combination of historical Spanish symbols, Bonaparte's imperial eagle, and regal ornamentation creates a powerful representation of both dynastic claim and administrative functionality. It embodies the nuanced position of Joseph Bonaparte's rule during a period of complex political transition.

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.
