About This Design
Coat of Arms of Arica, Chile Shot Glass
Coat of Arms of San Marcos de Arica (Chile) Shot Glass
This shot glass features the official Coat of Arms for the city of Arica, Chile, an emblem steeped in the rich and complex history of the "City of the Eternal Spring."
The design, originally granted in the 17th century by the Spanish Crown when Arica served as the vital port for South America's greatest silver mine, carries profound historical symbolism:
The Shield: Divided into two equal fields.
Upper Half (Gold/Silver): Features a white mountain of silver, representing the legendary Cerro Rico de Potosí (now in Bolivia), whose wealth flowed through the port of Arica.
Lower Half (Blue/Silver): Features undulating silver bars over a blue field, symbolizing Arica's identity as a port on the vast Pacific Ocean.
The Motto: Below the shield is the city's proud motto: "Mayor es mi Lealtad" (Greater is my Loyalty).
Historical Context: Arica is famous for the Morro de Arica, the steep coastal cliff that was the site of the pivotal Battle of Arica during the War of the Pacific, which ultimately led to the city becoming Chilean territory.
This item is the perfect memento for those who have traveled to Chile's northern gateway, Arica natives, historians, or anyone who appreciates heraldry with a fascinating historical narrative.

I love how these turned out using my image and being able to clear the background, leaving only the outline. Great addition to small Christmas gifts for colleagues. The printing is clear and precise.

I customized these shot glasses as a gift to the wedding party attending my sister and her fiancè's upcoming combination Bachelor/Bachelorette party. I haven't given them to the participants yet but I personally love these shot glasses! They're of good quality and although I haven't used them yet, they seem to be quite durable. I love how the quality of the design on the shot glasses turned out! I was originally going to buy the customized shot glasses elsewhere but I'm glad I didn't because these truly exceeded my expectations. The color that I chose even turned out perfectly. I'm just overall very happy with how these turned out.

I ordered these as party favors for a bachelorette party I’m throwing for a friend and they turned out amazing. Can’t wait to give them to the girls. Everything turned out as expected but it’d be awesome if the lips were actual glitter. They’re not supposed to be but glitter lips would be the ultimate icing on the cake.
