Shield of Siam (1873-1910) Shot Glass

This shot glass showcases the historic Shield of Siam, the coat of arms used by Thailand during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) from 1873 to 1910. The design is a powerful visual representation of Siam's transition into the modern world.

A Royal Emblem: Design Overview

The central element of the design is the traditional European-style shield, a symbol of royal authority and statehood, reflecting Siam's ambition to align with Western heraldic traditions. This shield is divided into sections, each bearing significant meaning.

Key Elements and Their Significance

The most prominent feature is the depiction of a white elephant on a red background. This powerful image represents the nation's monarchy, with the white elephant symbolizing purity, power, and the legitimacy of the royal family. It is a deeply sacred symbol in Thai culture.

Other sections of the shield might feature regional symbols representing provinces or territories under Siamese control, reflecting the geographical extent of the kingdom and its historical ties. The whole design is surmounted by a royal crown, which explicitly underscores the king's sovereignty and authority.

Symbolism of Modernization

The Shield of Siam is a compelling historical artifact, and the artwork on this shot glass captures the essence of this bygone era. It's a striking reminder of Siam's efforts to modernize its government and adopt symbols that reflected its place on the world stage. It is an emblem that embodies transformation and royal power.

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.
