Quaternion Eagle (Germany) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a striking design inspired by the Quaternion Eagle (Quaternionenadler), a heraldic representation of the Holy Roman Empire.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central focus is the iconic double-headed black eagle, complete with a golden halo. The eagle's depiction mirrors the original artwork, capturing its regal and imposing nature.

The wings of the eagle are the canvas for the design's most intricate element. They are adorned with a structured display of numerous smaller shields, precisely arranged to represent the various Imperial States of the Holy Roman Empire. These shields are grouped in "quaternions," each representing a specific category of states, reflecting the Empire's hierarchical structure.

Meaning and Symbolism

The double-headed eagle itself symbolizes the unity of the Empire's dual authority โ€“ the secular and ecclesiastical powers that shaped its governance.

The multitude of shields within the eagle's wings further enhances the symbolism. Each shield represents one of the Imperial States, categorized by rank, reflecting the complex political and territorial organization of the Holy Roman Empire. The arrangement of these shields provides a visual representation of the Empire's diverse components, from Electors and Dukes to Cities and Knights.

The design, therefore, serves as a powerful symbol of the Empire's rich history, its intricate political landscape, and the diverse entities that comprised it.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
