Old Coat of Arms of Lima (Peru) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historic coat of arms of Lima, Peru, a powerful visual representation of the city's royal origins and colonial past. The design is a faithful reproduction of the emblem granted by the Spanish Crown in 1537, a testament to Lima's status as the capital of the Spanish Viceroyalty in South America.

The Shield and Its Elements

At the heart of the design lies a shield, its blue field a canvas for the key elements. Three gold crowns, symbols of royalty and power, are arranged in a triangular pattern, immediately conveying the city's connection to the Spanish monarchy. Above these crowns, a golden three-pointed star touches each, further emphasizing the divine favor and celestial guidance bestowed upon the city. The entire shield is encircled by a red band bearing the Latin motto "Hoc signum vere regum est," which translates to "This is the true sign of kings," underlining the city's privileged status.

The Crest: Eagles and Monarchs

Rising above the shield is the crest, adding further layers of symbolism. Two black eagles, each crowned in gold, face each other, representing imperial authority and vigilance. Between the eagles, the intertwined initials "I" and "K," standing for Ioana (Joanna) and Karolus (Charles), respectively, connect the city directly to the reigning monarchs of the time. Above these initials, another gold star reinforces the emblem's theme of royal and divine backing.

Overall Meaning and Significance

The entire design is a meticulously crafted representation of Lima's rich history. It is a visual celebration of its connection to the Spanish monarchy, using heraldic symbols to proclaim Lima's importance and the legitimacy of Spanish colonial rule. Each element contributes to a complex narrative of power, favor, and the city's enduring heritage. This design is not just a collection of elements; it is a declaration of Lima's enduring story and its connection to its royal origins.

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.
