Monogram WIC Shot Glass: A Legacy in Miniature

This shot glass proudly displays the emblem of the Dutch West India Company, a symbol of a pivotal era in maritime history and global trade. The design centers around the distinctive "Monogram WIC," a cypher representing the company's full name, Geoctroyeerde West-Indische Compagnie.

The Monogram Unveiled

The primary visual element is the monogram itself, typically comprising the letters G, W, and C, sometimes creatively combined or stylized to create a unique visual identity. This emblem served as a corporate symbol, akin to a modern-day logo, instantly recognizable to those familiar with the company's reach and influence.

A Ship of Commerce

Adding to the design's richness, the Monogram WIC often featured a depiction of a fluyt-ship, a Dutch merchant vessel of the era. The inclusion of the ship highlights the company's reliance on maritime trade, symbolizing its global ventures across the Atlantic and beyond. The image encapsulates the spirit of exploration, trade, and the drive that fueled the company's rise.

A Touch of History

While not a formal coat of arms in the traditional heraldic sense, the Monogram WIC shares features that echo heraldic practices. It functions as a powerful emblem, a visual shorthand for an organization with vast reach and lasting historical impact. This shot glass encapsulates this legacy, transforming the symbol into a piece of wearable and usable history.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
