Mourão Brasão (Portugal) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the official coat of arms (brasão) of the municipality of Mourão, Portugal. The design is a miniature heraldic masterpiece, packed with symbolic elements.

The Shield

The central element is a blue (azul) shield, the background for the composition. Dominating the shield is a golden (ouro) castle, a visual representation of Mourão's historic fortifications, its open gate and illuminated interior in black (negro) hinting at a welcoming, yet secure, presence.

Chief Elements

At the top, or "chief," of the shield, a smaller silver (prata) escutcheon bears the "quinas" – the iconic five blue shields with white dots that represent the national arms of Portugal, signifying Mourão's place within the Portuguese realm. Beside this smaller escutcheon are a gold sun (sol de ouro) and a silver crescent (crescente de prata). The sun's radiant presence and the crescent’s gentle curve potentially allude to historical conflicts, the dawn of a new era, or local significance.

The Crown

Crowning the shield is a silver (prata) mural crown with four towers (coroa mural de prata de quatro torres). This indicates the municipality's status in Portuguese heraldry.

Symbolism and Meaning

The overall design reflects the history and values of Mourão. The blue and gold colors, are common heraldic colors for Portuguese municipalities, representing loyalty / justice and generosity / wealth respectively. The castle represents the town's fortifications, while the national arms and sun/crescent details add further layers of historical and symbolic depth to this design.

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.
