South Australia Coat of Arms Proposal (1984) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a fascinating piece of South Australian history: the 1984 proposal for the state's coat of arms. The design presents a snapshot of the vision that, while ultimately not adopted, provides a glimpse into a potential alternative state emblem.

Key Visual Elements

The core of the design is the shield, featuring the iconic elements present in the official coat of arms: a golden rising sun and the Australian piping shrike (a magpie-like bird) set against a vibrant blue field. Above the shield, the crest is comprised of a cluster of Sturt's desert pea flowers, the state's floral emblem, adding a touch of natural beauty.

Beneath the shield, a compartment displays symbols of South Australia's economic pillars: vines, wheat, barley, citrus fruits, cog wheels, and a miner's pick. These represent the state's agriculture and industry, embodying its diverse economic foundation.

Symbolism and Representation

The design’s distinct feature compared to the official coat of arms is the inclusion of supporters. On either side of the shield, a koala and a wombat stand, embodying Australia's native wildlife and connecting the state to its unique natural heritage.

Overall, the proposed coat of arms aims to represent the identity and values of South Australia. The piping shrike symbolizes the state's connection to the Australian landscape. The Sturt's desert peas highlight the unique floral life, and the combined elements pay homage to the rich economic diversity of South Australia, and, with the addition of the supporters, its unique native fauna.

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.
