Shield of Arms of Australia 1912 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the iconic shield from the Coat of Arms of Australia, officially adopted in 1912. The design centers around a traditional heraldic shield, a powerful visual symbol of unity and national identity.

A Divided Nation, United in Symbol

The shield is meticulously quartered, dividing the space into six distinct sections. Each section represents a state within the newly federated Australia. This division itself symbolizes the coming together of individual entities to form a unified nation.

State Emblems in Vivid Detail

Within each section, the design boasts a unique emblem:

  • New South Wales: A vibrant red St. George's cross dominates a white field, with a golden lion passant at its heart.
  • Victoria: A deep blue backdrop is adorned with the Southern Cross constellation, elegantly placed beneath a crown.
  • Queensland: A pristine white field bears a striking blue Maltese cross, also crowned.
  • South Australia: A golden (yellow) field provides the perfect setting for the graceful piping shrike bird.
  • Western Australia: A majestic black swan graces a golden (yellow) field.
  • Tasmania: A bold red lion passant stands out against a white field.

These state emblems are carefully rendered, adhering to traditional heraldic conventions. The design relies on strong color contrasts, ensuring each symbol is immediately recognizable and visually striking.

Symbolism of Royalty and Unity

The inclusion of crowns on some emblems reflects Australia's historical ties to the monarchy. The overall design is a powerful statement about the country's past and the unique identity of each state, all united under a single national emblem.

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.
