Xicalcoliuhqui Chimalli Shot Glass: A Glimpse of Mesoamerican Art

This shot glass features a striking design inspired by the Xicalcoliuhqui Chimalli, a prominent emblem of Mesoamerican art and culture. The artwork is centered around a complex, stepped fret pattern that immediately catches the eye. The intricate lines twist and turn, creating a visual rhythm that evokes a sense of both movement and precision.

The Twisted Gourd: A Symbol of Many Meanings

The core motif, known as the Xicalcoliuhqui (twisted gourd) in Nahuatl, offers a window into the rich symbolism of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. Its design, reminiscent of a Greek key or a labyrinth, is often linked to the natural world. This symbol represents various concepts: waves, clouds, lightning, and even serpentine deities like Quetzalcoatl. The interwoven pattern may also represent cyclical movement, such as the relationship between the sun and the earth.

This design’s presence evokes a strong connection to the shields (chimalli) wielded by Aztec warriors, reflecting their status and the spiritual depth of the Xicalcoliuhqui.

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.
