Royal Arms of Portugal Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the iconic Royal Arms of Portugal, a symbol steeped in history and national pride. The design prominently features the Lesser Coat of Arms, a heraldic emblem of enduring significance.

Central Shield and Symbolism

At the heart of the design is the white (argent) shield, displaying five smaller blue shields (escutcheons) arranged in a cross formation. Each of these blue shields contains five white dots (bezants), meticulously arranged in a saltire or X-shape. These "quinas," or shields, are a powerful symbol. They represent the five Moorish kings defeated by King Afonso I at the Battle of Ourique. The five dots on each shield further hold profound meaning, symbolizing the Five Holy Wounds of Christ, reflecting the king's faith and the divine assistance believed to have been received in battle.

Red Bordure and Fortresses

Encircling the central shield is a striking red border (bordure) adorned with seven gold castles. These imposing castles symbolize the fortresses constructed during the Christian Reconquista, with specific reference to the seven castles in the Algarve region, marking the final stage of the Reconquista under King Afonso III. This element speaks to the history and struggle of the Portuguese nation.

Armillary Sphere

Behind the shield, a golden armillary sphere gracefully arches, completing the design. This navigational instrument is a potent symbol of Portugal's Age of Discovery and its maritime achievements. It honors Portugal's explorers and the nation's pivotal role in global exploration and trade, particularly during the reign of King Manuel I.

The overall artwork is a testament to Portugal's rich past, Christian faith, and adventurous spirit, captured within the intricate details of the Royal Arms.

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.
