Minor Shield of Saxe-Altenburg Shot Glass - Design Details

This shot glass showcases the historic Minor Shield of Saxe-Altenburg, a heraldic emblem of the former Duchy within present-day Thuringia, Germany. The design, meticulously rendered, brings to life the vibrant colors and symbolic imagery of this distinguished coat of arms.

Quartered Design

The shield itself is quartered, with each section representing a significant town within the Duchy. The top-left displays a vibrant red rose on a silver background, the heraldic representation of the town of Altenburg. The top-right features three horizontal blue bars set against a silver field, symbolizing the town of Eisenberg.

In the lower-left quarter, a black lion rampant, embellished with red hearts, charges across a gold field, signifying the town of Orlamünde. The bottom-right quadrant presents a silver lion rampant, a mirror image of its companion, set against a blue background, representing the town of Pleissen.

Central Inescutcheon

At the heart of the design, an inescutcheon, a smaller shield placed at the center, carries the arms of the Electorate of Saxony. This central element features a black lion, complete with a golden crown and tongue, placed upon a field striped with gold and black. This detail underscores the historical connection and lineage of the Saxe-Altenburg Duchy to the larger Saxon dynasty.

Ducal Coronet

The complete design, as it would appear in its full heraldic context, would be surmounted by a ducal coronet (though not necessarily depicted on this particular item). This reinforces the royal status and historical importance associated with this emblem of Saxe-Altenburg.

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.
