Scudo Africa Orientale Italiana (Mali) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate and symbolic design of the Stemma Imperiale dell’Africa Orientale Italiana, the Imperial Coat of Arms of Italian East Africa. The artwork is a faithful representation of the emblem established by royal decree in 1939, capturing the complex heraldic elements.

A Quartered Shield of Unity

The central element is a Scudo sannitico, a traditional Italian shield, quartered to represent the diverse territories united under Italian rule. Each quarter tells a story:

  • First Quarter (Eritrea): Features a lioness and wavy bars, symbolizing the local features and colonial identity of Eritrea.
  • Second Quarter (Amhara): Displays a Roman gladius (sword) and a Coptic cross, representing conquest and the regional heritage of the Amhara region.
  • Third Quarter (Somalia): Includes a leopard and stars, echoing the emblem of Italian Somaliland.
  • Fourth Quarter (Galla & Sidama): Showcases a wavy band with an agricultural tool, alongside smaller symbols for provinces like Harar and Scioa, reflecting the agricultural and regional diversity.

Central Authority and Royal Insignia

Over the quarters rests a Savoy shield (red with a white cross), a prominent symbol of the House of Savoy and the Kingdom of Italy, signifying the ultimate authority. Two regal lions, symbolizing strength, support the shield. Behind the lions are fasces, a symbol of authority, with a ribbon inscribed with "Fert," the motto of the Savoy dynasty. The shield is encircled by the collars of the Order of the Most Holy Annunciation and the Colonial Order of the Star of Italy, denoting prestige.

Imperial Crown

Topping the design is an elaborate Imperial Crown, adorned with eagles, pearls, gemstones, and the Maurician Cross, typical of Italian royal heraldry of the era. This crown further emphasizes the imperial aspirations and the visual representation of the colonial administration's authority.

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.
