Provisional Coat of Arms of the Colony of Timor (Portugal) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate Provisional Coat of Arms of the Colony of Timor, a heraldic emblem used by Portugal from 1935 to 1951. The design is a miniature masterpiece of colonial symbolism, rich in historical meaning and visual detail.

Shield Composition

The central element is a tierced shield, divided into three distinct sections, each representing a crucial aspect of the colony's identity and its relationship with Portugal.

Top Section: Portuguese Sovereignty

The top portion mirrors the Portuguese Royal Shield, a field of blue graced by five white shields arranged in a cross formation. Each of these smaller shields is punctuated by five bezants (circular dots), reflecting Portugal's enduring sovereignty over the colony.

Middle Section: Religious Influence

The middle segment features a black-and-white gyronny field, with a prominent black-and-white cross at its center. This design element commemorates the Dominican Order's significant role in the conversion of the Timorese population to Roman Catholicism, underlining the influence of the Church in the colony's life.

Bottom Section: Maritime Identity

The bottom section is a silver field, enlivened by green waves, symbolizing the sea surrounding Timor. This visually represents the colony’s maritime location and its connection to the vast ocean.

Additional Emblems

Beyond the shield itself, the design features additional heraldic elements to enhance its message.

Mural Crown

A mural crown with five towers surmounts the shield, signifying a fortified territory or city, and adding a touch of grandeur.

Armillary Sphere

Behind the shield, an armillary sphere is prominently displayed. This navigational instrument is a potent symbol of Portugal’s maritime exploration and the Age of Discovery, reflecting the historical context of the colony.

The overall composition is a striking representation of the intertwined themes of Portuguese sovereignty, religious conversion, and the colony's maritime context, captured in a visually compelling design.

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.
