Ornamented Coat of Arms of Charles V Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate and symbolic design of the ornamented coat of arms of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain. The artwork is a vibrant representation of the heraldic emblem that visually proclaimed his vast dominion during his reign from 1530 to 1556.

The Shield: A Realm of Symbols

At the heart of the design is the quartered shield, meticulously divided to illustrate the diverse territories under Charles V's rule. The quarters themselves are a testament to his lineage and the extent of his inherited kingdoms, each element carefully chosen to represent a specific realm. The shield encapsulates Castile and León (quartered with Aragon and Sicily), Naples, Jerusalem, and Hungary, Austria, Burgundy (ancient and modern), Brabant, Flanders and Tyrol, and Granada (represented by the pomegranate).

Central Elements and Imperial Dignity

A smaller escutcheon, positioned centrally within the larger shield, may feature the arms of Burgundy or Flanders and Tyrol, dependent on the context. Flanking the shield are the supporters: the imperial double-headed eagle and the Pillars of Hercules, both iconic symbols of imperial authority and the vast reach of his empire. Atop the composition is the imperial crown of the Holy Roman Empire, a direct symbol of his emperorship.

Details of Rule and Expansion

Rich gold and ermine mantling drapes the shield, emphasizing the royal dignity of the ruler. The collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece further highlights his position as the sovereign of this prestigious chivalric order. Finally, the motto "PLUS ULTRA" ("More beyond") is included, embodying the expansion of his empire and his discoveries in the Americas.

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.
