Ornamented Coat of Arms of Charles V Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate and powerful design of the ornamented coat of arms of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain. The artwork is a direct representation of his vast and diverse territories, reflecting his significant historical influence.

The Central Shield: A Realm of Symbols

At the heart of the design lies the shield, a complex composition of heraldic elements. The shield is quartered, revealing a layered story of inheritance and conquest. The first and fourth quarters display the arms of Castile and León, intertwined with those of Aragon and Sicily. The second and third quarters present a further quartering, representing Austria, Burgundy, Valois-Burgundy, and Brabant. An escutcheon at the center highlights Flanders on the left and Tyrol on the right. Completing the narrative, the pomegranate of Granada is placed at the base, signifying the culmination of the Spanish Reconquista.

Imperial Crest and Royal Supporters

Above the shield, the imperial crown of the Holy Roman Empire stands prominently as the crest, symbolizing Charles V's imperial authority. Flanking the shield are the supporters: on the left, the majestic double-headed eagle, a symbol of the Holy Roman Empire; and on the right, the pillars of Hercules, representing the strait between Spain and North Africa. These pillars bear the motto "PLUS ULTRA," a bold declaration of expansion and exploration beyond the known world.

Order and Authority

Encircling the shield is the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, a prestigious chivalric order. This element underscores Charles V's position as its sovereign and adds another layer of historical and symbolic depth to the design.

Overall Meaning

The design as a whole is a visually rich testament to the era of Charles V. The combination of heraldic elements, from the inherited territories to the symbols of imperial authority and exploration, tells the story of a ruler whose empire spanned continents. Every element of this design conveys a powerful statement about Charles V's dominion and ambition.

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.
