Middle Coat of Arms of Joseph Bonaparte Shot Glass

This shot glass showcases a historically significant and visually striking design: the Middle Coat of Arms of Joseph Bonaparte as King of Spain, Type 2. This emblem represents a fascinating blend of Spanish heraldry and Napoleonic imperial power.

The Shield: A Fusion of Kingdoms

The central element of the design is the quartered shield, meticulously divided to represent the various kingdoms of Spain. The first quarter displays the iconic castle of Castile, symbolizing strength and authority. Next, the rampant lion of León, a symbol of courage and royalty, dominates the second quarter. The vibrant red and gold stripes of Aragon, representing territorial holdings, fill the third space. The fourth quarter showcases the chains of Navarre, signifying unity and the bonds of the kingdom. At the base of the shield, an 'enté en point' element presents the Granada, a pomegranate, symbolizing the last Moorish kingdom conquered by the Spanish.

The Bonaparte Influence

At the heart of the design, an inescutcheon containing the Bonaparte imperial eagle takes center stage. This eagle, a powerful symbol of Napoleon's dynastic claims, is displayed on an azure (blue) field, clutching thunderbolts, emphasizing imperial power and control.

Royal Embellishments

Crowning the shield is a Napoleonic-style closed crown, replacing the traditional Spanish royal crown, further highlighting the influence of the Bonaparte regime. The entire shield is often encircled by the Collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, a prestigious symbol of chivalry and royal honor, adding a layer of ceremonial significance to the design.

A Hybrid Identity

The design effectively communicates a hybrid identity: blending the historical symbolism of the Spanish kingdoms with the imperial iconography of the Bonapartes. This Middle Coat of Arms embodies a specific historical moment, reflecting both the heritage of Spain and the political aspirations of the French Empire during Joseph Bonaparte's reign.

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.
