Peterhof COA Shot Glass: A Glimpse of Imperial Russia

Design Overview

This shot glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms of Peterhof, a town within the Saint Petersburg Governorate of the Russian Empire, as it appeared in 1833. The design is a vibrant testament to the imperial era and the town's connection to the Romanov Tsars.

Visual Elements

The central design is dominated by a rich, red (gules) field, a common heraldic color. Superimposed upon this field is a striking golden (or yellow) monogram. This monogram is formed by the Cyrillic letter "П" (P), intricately interlaced with another element or loop to visually represent "Peterhof," the town's name, translating to "Peter's Court" or "Manor." Crowning this emblem is a majestic imperial crown, rendered in gold. This symbolizes Peterhof's special status as an imperial possession, reflecting its connection to the Tsars' residences and its position within the Russian Empire.

Symbolism and Meaning

The red background is a classic heraldic choice, resonating with the colors associated with the empire itself. The golden monogram serves as a direct visual reference to the town's name, subtly echoing the legacy of Peter the Great. The crown placed above the monogram is a clear indication of Peterhof's elevated standing, as it was a site of importance for the Tsars.

Historical Context

The design reflects an era of formalized heraldry within the Russian Empire, predating the revolution and representing a time when many towns adopted or formalized their distinctive coats of arms for administrative and symbolic purposes. This design presents a simple yet powerful design, characteristic of the era and illustrative of the town's significance during that period.

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.
