New York Union Flag 1775 Shot Glass: A Glimpse of Colonial Tensions

This shot glass showcases a striking design inspired by the New York Union Flag of 1775. The artwork replicates the key visual elements of this historic flag, offering a miniature yet potent representation of a pivotal moment in American history.

The "Reverse Union" Design

The design prominently features the Union Jack, the flag of Great Britain, in the canton (upper left corner). However, the field of the flag, which is the rest of the design, deviates significantly. Instead of the typical blue and white stripes of the Union Jack, the artwork utilizes a reverse color scheme, echoing the red and white stripes that would later come to represent the American flag. This "reverse" effect is a key characteristic of the flag's symbolism.

Symbolism of Divided Allegiance

The presence of the Union Jack within the design, yet with a modified field, speaks volumes about the historical context. This design is a visual reminder of the divided loyalties of New York during the early days of the American Revolution. The inclusion of the Union Jack reveals a continued, albeit strained, recognition of the British monarchy, whereas the color scheme of the field signifies the growing sentiment towards the American independence. The design encapsulates a moment in time when allegiance was complex and the future uncertain.

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.
