Arizona 387 1978 (Arizona) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces a 1978 Arizona state route marker: a black highway shield carrying the number 387 against a white field, drawn in the flat, no-nonsense style of the era's road signage.

Visual Elements & Composition

Black and white do all the work here. The composition is built around a state highway shield, with the bold route number 387 sitting at its centre and the outline of Arizona superimposed behind it. The word ARIZONA runs across the top, and smaller lettering, including DOT and a 90 notation, sits within the sign's frame. Nothing is decorative. Every mark is there to be read at speed from a moving car, which gives the piece its clean, minimal character.

Meaning & Symbolism

The shield tells you exactly where you are. State Route 387 runs from Casa Grande south-central Arizona, linking Casa Grande with Interstate 10 and extending east to State Route 87 near Coolidge. The state silhouette marks the route as Arizona's own, and the shield form is the standard language of American highway navigation. The design was standardised by the Arizona Department of Transportation and published in the Arizona Manual of Approved Signs that same year, so it stands as a record of how the state chose to sign its roads in the late 1970s.

Made for the Hand, Read at a Glance

A road sign is built to be taken in quickly, and a shot glass suits that perfectly: it is small, held close, and looked at in a single glance before the toast. The shield's bold black outline reads just as clearly across the rim of a 1.5oz glass as it does from a roadside post. Keep it on the home bar, or pack it for a trip along the desert highways it describes, and it becomes a little piece of Arizona road history with a cheeky nod to the journey.

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.
