Provisional Coat of Arms of Portuguese India 1934 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a historic heraldic design, a provisional coat of arms used to represent the Portuguese Indian territories, including Goa, Daman, and Diu, in 1934. It's a snapshot of colonial symbolism during a significant period in Portuguese history.

Key Design Elements

The central element is a shield, mirroring the style of the era. The upper portion of the shield prominently displays the familiar escutcheons (quinas) of the Portuguese national arms, instantly linking the colony to the metropole.

The lower portion of the shield incorporates a colonial symbol. The exact imagery may vary slightly in artistic interpretations, but generally centers around a figure or emblem that signifies the identity of Portuguese India, often intertwined with Portuguese symbolism.

Crowning the shield is a golden mural crown. This five-towered crown symbolizes city or fortified status, a common practice in Portuguese colonial heraldry.

Below the shield, a white scroll (listel) typically bears the inscription "ÍNDIA," clearly identifying the territory represented by the arms.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design is a blend of the Portuguese national identity and the distinct character of the Portuguese Indian colonies. The inclusion of the Portuguese shield demonstrates the close ties between the colony and the mother country. The colonial symbol serves to visually distinguish the specific territory.

This coat of arms was a temporary symbol, created for the 1934 Portuguese Colonial Exhibition and also appeared on commemorative coinage. It reflects the colonial identity of the period, acting as a recognizable symbol of the territory.

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.
