Orzeł PRL 1980 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the coat of arms of Poland as it appeared during the era of the Polish People's Republic (PRL), specifically around 1980. The design offers a striking departure from the traditional Polish heraldry, reflecting the ideology of the communist government.

Key Visual Elements

The central image is the Orzeł (Eagle), presented in white against a bold red background. This color scheme aligns with the historical Polish flag, maintaining a sense of national identity. However, the absence of the crown is a critical element, signifying the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of a republic.

The eagle itself is rendered in a simplified, stylized manner. The lines are often more angular and geometric than those found in earlier, more ornate depictions. This minimalist approach was a common trend in the artistic expression of the PRL era, embodying a sense of modernity and the government's values.

Symbolism

The design’s symbolism is deeply rooted in the political landscape of the time. The red shield represents the state and the embrace of socialist ideals. The white eagle, though uncrowned, retains the essence of Polish heritage and resilience. The shot glass thus becomes a miniature emblem, a piece of art that tells a story of a nation undergoing a significant shift in its identity.

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.
