Proposed Coat of Arms New Guinea 1914 Shot Glass: A Visual Journey

This shot glass showcases the Proposed Coat of Arms for German New Guinea, a design envisioned in 1914 but never officially adopted due to the outbreak of World War I. The artwork provides a glimpse into a moment in history, representing a fusion of colonial ambition and local symbolism.

Central Emblem: The Bird of Paradise

At the heart of the design is the majestic Bird of Paradise. This vibrant creature, native to New Guinea, takes center stage, representing the unique natural heritage of the region. The depiction, characteristic of Dr. Wilhelm Solf's approach, is rendered in a naturalistic style, offering a vivid portrait of the bird's beauty.

Imperial Overlay: Symbols of German Sovereignty

Above the central shield, the Imperial Crown of the German Empire takes its place, a clear statement of German authority. Further emphasizing the German connection, the shield is supported by the Reichsadler (Imperial Eagle) motif. This combination of the local symbol with traditional heraldic elements creates a visual narrative of the German Empire’s presence in New Guinea.

A Fusion of Worlds

The design effectively blends local imagery with formal imperial heraldic styles. This shot glass design embodies a snapshot of history. It reflects an attempt to create a visual identity for German New Guinea, blending its unique environment with the symbols of the colonial power.

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.
