Provincia di Ragusa - Stemma (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass

This shot glass showcases the historical coat of arms of the Provincia di Ragusa, a provincial administrative division in Sicily, Italy, as it appeared during the periods of 1930-1933 and 1943-1946. The design is a rich tapestry of heraldic symbols, each contributing to a layered narrative of history and local identity.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The central element of the design is the shield, its background a striking azure (blue) field, commonly associated with loyalty and truth in heraldry. Across this field runs a bend, a diagonal stripe, meticulously composed of two rows of alternating argent (silver/white) and gules (red) squares. This checkered pattern creates a visually dynamic element, possibly alluding to local historical or dynastic ties.

The design’s most prominent figure is a majestic eagle, rendered in lustrous or (gold/yellow). It is depicted with wings lowered, facing right (dexter), a common heraldic pose suggesting strength and sovereignty. The eagle grasps in its talons a fascio littorio (fasces), a bundle of rods bound together with an axe, a symbol of authority employed by the Italian state during the Fascist era.

Above the eagle, a five-pointed star, also in or, completes the composition. The star typically represents high aspirations or guidance, enhancing the overall message of power and governance.

Historical Context

This particular coat of arms reflects a specific period in Italian history. The presence of the fascio littorio unmistakably ties the design to the Fascist regime. After the fall of Fascism and the changes following World War II, the coat of arms was later revised. Notably, the fasces was removed in later versions to reflect post-war republican values.

The design presented here serves as a poignant reminder of a unique moment in 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.
