Proposed Coat of Arms Samoa 1914 (Shot Glass) - Design Description

This shot glass showcases a historical design: the proposed coat of arms for Samoa, drafted by the German colonial administration in 1914. The artwork offers a glimpse into a time when Samoa was under German rule, and this design was intended for official use.

Visual Elements and Symbolism

The central element is a shield with a striking visual impact. The field of the shield is red (gules), a color commonly associated with strength and power. Within this field stand three white (argent) palm trees, representing the lush, tropical environment of Samoa and the local flora. These palms symbolize the land and its resources.

At the top of the design, the chief of the shield, is a powerful Imperial German eagle, with a red beak and claws, perched on a white background. This eagle is a direct symbol of German imperial authority over Samoa. Above the eagle, the Imperial Crown of Germany further emphasizes this control. On the eagle's breast is a smaller quartered shield, representing the House of Hohenzollern, the ruling family of Germany at the time.

Meaning and Context

The design effectively blends Samoan natural elements with German imperial heraldry. The palm trees represent the local Samoan environment, while the eagle and crown highlight the German colonial presence. This combination reveals the intended balance of the design: acknowledging the local environment while firmly asserting the governing authority.

The use of these specific symbols provides an insight into the cultural and political aspirations of the German colonial regime. While never officially adopted due to historical events, this proposed design stands as a visual artifact reflecting a specific time in Samoa's history.

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.
