Palermo-Stemma Damiani Almeyda - 1891 (Italy) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the iconic coat of arms of Palermo, Sicily, as redesigned in 1891 by Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda.

Visual Elements & Symbolism

The design features a striking heraldic composition. The primary element is a majestic gold eagle, with outstretched wings, set against a vibrant red background. The eagle, a powerful symbol of authority and civic pride, represents the city of Palermo itself.

The eagle clutches the letters "S.P.Q.P." in its claws. These letters, a shortened form of a Latin phrase, signify “Senate and People of Palermo,” echoing the ancient traditions of civic governance and the city's self-governance.

The use of the red background ("gules" in heraldic terms) and the gold eagle ("or") is a classic combination with ancient roots in Palermo's heraldry. The 1891 design presents a unique version, placing the "S.P.Q.P." directly on the red background beneath the eagle rather than on a scroll.

Meaning & Significance

The artwork encapsulates Palermo's rich history and identity. The eagle evokes the city's connection to imperial traditions, while the “S.P.Q.P.” inscription celebrates its civic heritage. The 1891 design encapsulates a key moment in the emblem's evolution, offering a distinctive portrayal of Palermo’s self-image as a capital city in Sicily, with a deep connection to its past.

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.
