Chinese Zodiac Animal Shot Glasses, 25ml, 12-Piece Set

A small pour becomes a little theatre when each glass has its own zodiac animal beneath it. This 12-piece set of 25 ml shot glasses pairs clear glass with ornate brass bases, made for toasts that invite people to look closer, compare animals and choose their favourite.

Twelve small glasses with a story underneath

• Each glass holds a neat 25 ml measure, suited to spirits, liqueurs or a small celebratory pour.
• The clear upper glass keeps the drink visible, while the brass base gives the table a richer, more collected look.
• The animal motifs turn serving into a social moment, especially when guests search for their own zodiac sign.
• The set follows the full Chinese zodiac cycle, with Rat, Ox, Tiger, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig represented.
• The antique-style metal finish brings a sense of age and ceremony without feeling too polished or formal.

Clear glass with ornate brass bases

The design is built around contrast: transparent glass above, detailed brass below. The bases carry the animal decoration, giving each piece a sculptural presence even before anything is poured.

Brass naturally has warmth and depth, and its surface can mellow with handling over time. That gentle change suits the antique-style look and adds to the feeling of a set meant to be brought out, shared and noticed.

Bringing them to the table

Use them for a round of after-dinner spirits, a tasting tray, or a small toast at a birthday gathering. They work especially well when the zodiac theme has meaning for the group, from a birth-year gift to a shared New Year table.

After use, wash gently by hand and dry the brass bases with a soft cloth. Avoid leaving them sitting wet, as moisture can dull metal finishes.

The zodiac at the heart of the set

In the Chinese zodiac, twelve animals mark a repeating cycle of years, each carrying its own traditional associations and character. Here, that symbolism is used as decorative barware rather than as a ceremonial object: a way to bring myth, conversation and recognition into a simple shared drink. The pleasure is partly in the choosing, with one person drawn to the Dragon, another to the Horse, another to the animal of their birth year.
