Royal Siamese Army Unit Colours King Rama VI Shot Glass - Design

This striking shot glass captures the essence of a revered symbol: the Royal Siamese Army Unit Colours from the reign of King Rama VI (Vajiravudh) of Siam, circa 1911-1925. The design meticulously replicates the iconic Thong Chai Chalermphol, a standard carried by regiments of the Royal Siamese Army.

The Crimson Field and Golden Garuda

The dominant feature of the design is the deep crimson red field, representing the bravery and sacrifice of the Thai soldier. At the heart of the design, the Royal Garuda, rendered in radiant gold, spreads its wings in a powerful display. This mythical creature symbolizes the King's divine authority and acts as a protector of Siam, invoking a sense of regal power.

Royal Emblems and Sacred Staff

Beneath the Garuda, the royal monogram "ว.ป.ร." (Wor Por Ror), representing King Vajiravudh himself, is often incorporated, within or under a golden halo, serving as a personal mark of command. The image extends to the meticulously detailed staff, the Phra Phor Thong, on which the flag is borne. The staff is depicted as lacquered dark brown/black with gold cord wrapping, giving the impression of sacred ribbons that complete the image.

A Crown of Glory

Atop the staff, the design highlights the gilded Royal Crown, a symbol of royal sovereignty and righteousness. The gold fringe bordering the flag itself is included, evoking a sense of victory, prosperity, and the grace of the royal court.

Meaning and Legacy

The overall design reflects the sacred nature of the Thong Chai Chalermphol. Each element is carefully chosen to convey the solemnity and honor associated with the Royal Siamese Army and the reign of King Rama VI. This shot glass design is a miniature homage to a significant piece of Thai history and heraldry, and serves as a visual reminder of the unit colors which formed the basis for later unit colours and are still used today by the Royal Thai Army.

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.
