Provisional Coat of Arms of the Colony of Portuguese India Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a miniature representation of the Provisional Coat of Arms of the Colony of Portuguese India, a powerful emblem of historical significance.

Design Elements

The design prominently features a central shield derived from the Portuguese national arms. This shield is white and bears a distinctive arrangement: five smaller blue shields, each displaying silver bezants (coins), are arranged in a cross formation. A vibrant red border, adorned with seven golden castles, frames this central element.

Overlaid upon the Portuguese shield is the armillary sphere, a prominent symbol of Portugal's maritime empire and its pioneering role in global exploration. The armillary sphere conveys themes of navigation, discovery, and overseas expansion.

The design may be topped with a mural crown, symbolizing colonial authority. The inclusion of the inscription "Estado da Índia" (State of India) may also be present, clearly identifying the territory represented.

Symbolism

The artwork encapsulates the Portuguese colonial presence in India. The elements of the Portuguese national arms, including the shield with its bezants and castles, connect the colony to its European roots and the Portuguese Crown. The armillary sphere is an emblem of Portugal's maritime history and global reach. This intricate design weaves together the history of both Portugal and its colonial presence in India.

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.
