Vessel Traffic Service - Italian Coast Guard (Italy) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the emblem of the Italian Coast Guard's Vessel Traffic Service, a striking design rich with maritime symbolism. The artwork is framed by a circular rope-border, a classic nautical element.

Central Design Elements

The design is dominated by a shield bisected vertically by a stripe mirroring the Italian flag's colors: green, white, and red. This color scheme immediately identifies the emblem's Italian origins.

The left side of the shield, set against a deep blue background, is dedicated to marine and traffic service symbols. These elements convey the core function of the service: ensuring safe and efficient maritime traffic. Key symbols include a ship silhouette, the initials "VTS" representing Vessel Traffic Service, and a radar/antenna icon, suggesting modern surveillance capabilities.

The right side, presented on a vibrant red background, features a prominent white circle bearing a black anchor. The anchor is a long-standing symbol of the Coast Guard, representing safety, stability, and maritime authority.

Text and Overall Meaning

Encircling the shield, the words "VESSEL TRAFFIC SERVICE" and "GUARDIA COSTIERA" (Italian for Coast Guard) are prominently displayed, leaving no doubt as to the emblem's purpose. The design represents the vital role of the Italian Coast Guard in monitoring and managing maritime traffic, ensuring safety and security at sea. The combination of symbols speaks to the integration of modern technology with traditional maritime principles.

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.
