Ornamented Coat of Arms Shot Glass: A Royal Decree in Miniature

This shot glass showcases a highly detailed rendition of the "Ornamented Coat of Arms of Rudolf II, Matthias, and Ferdinand II," Holy Roman Emperors of the Habsburg line. The design is a miniature masterpiece of heraldic artistry, reflecting the power and prestige of the Austrian imperial lineage during the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

The Central Emblem: Imperial Authority

At the heart of the design lies the iconic black double-headed eagle, the enduring symbol of the Holy Roman Empire. This regal bird, a visual declaration of imperial authority, bears a shield, further amplifying its significance.

The Quartered Shield: A Dynasty's Domains

The shield itself is meticulously quartered, a complex tapestry of heraldic symbols. Each section represents the various territories and titles held by the Habsburg dynasty, including Austria, Bohemia, Hungary, and other domains. This intricate arrangement visually proclaims the vast reach and influence of the Emperors.

Ornamentation: A Flourish of Royal Splendor

The "ornamented" nature of this design is immediately apparent. The imperial crown, a symbol of sovereignty, rests atop the composition, while a flowing mantling and heraldic supporters (likely griffins) frame the central elements. This extravagant display underscores the Emperors' elevated status, far exceeding the simple arms of a lesser noble. The inclusion of the collar of orders, such as the Order of the Golden Fleece, further elevates the design, showcasing the highest honors of the era.

Meaning and Symbolism: Power, Lineage, and Prestige

The design speaks volumes. It’s a visual testament to the authority of the Holy Roman Emperor, the dynastic claims over various territories, and the heraldic prestige of the Habsburg line. It’s a symbol of continuity, as the same coat of arms was used by three successive Emperors, signaling the enduring strength of the imperial house. This ornamental approach elevates the design from a mere emblem to a statement of power and cultural significance.

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.
