Shield of the British Indian Ocean Territory Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a beautifully rendered representation of the Shield of the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT), a heraldic emblem rich with symbolism.

Visual Elements

The central design is dominated by the BIOT shield itself, the core visual element. The shield features a pristine white field (argent), providing a clean canvas for the other components.

At the base of the shield, a series of undulating blue lines depict the Indian Ocean, immediately establishing the maritime context and the islands' location. A stylized palm tree rises from the white field, a clear symbol of the territory's tropical environment and the lush vegetation of the islands.

Above the palm tree, a prominent gold crown further defines the relationship with the British monarchy and emphasizes the territory's status within the United Kingdom.

In some versions, a gold anchor may be incorporated, reinforcing the maritime aspect and connection to naval history.

Symbolism

The design speaks volumes through its carefully chosen symbols. The palm tree is a celebration of the tropical islands and their natural beauty. The blue, wavy lines represent the vast Indian Ocean, the lifeblood of the territory.

The inclusion of the gold crown signifies the sovereignty of the British monarch. The anchor, when present, provides a further emphasis on the region's nautical significance and its close ties with naval traditions. Together, these elements combine to present a concise and meaningful representation of the BIOT's essence and its unique position as a British overseas territory.

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.
