CALTRANS R2-4 (California) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces a California highway speed sign: a tall white panel carrying a bold black speed limit and a short warning about what lies ahead.

Visual Elements & Composition

White dominates the artwork, covering about four-fifths of the field, while black supplies the rest for the lettering and numerals. The panel is a vertical rounded rectangle, and everything sits inside it in a flat vector style with no shading or texture. The numerals 35 are the largest element, with ZONE AHEAD set beneath them, so the eye reads the number first and the instruction second. Nothing decorative competes with the message.

Meaning & Symbolism

A speed sign is a promise of order. Its job is to tell a driver a limit and a condition in a single glance, and the R2-4 standard does that with almost no ornament. The design draws on the Caltrans system of the California Department of Transportation, the body that sets the standardised signage across the state's highways. Its modern, utilitarian look reflects the era of that signage, and its restraint is the point: clear communication over decoration. For anyone who has ever driven California's long roads, the panel is instantly familiar.

Made for a Shot Glass

A shot glass is small, held close and turned slowly in the hand, so the artwork reads at arm's length rather than across a room. The tall, narrow panel suits the vertical body of the glass, and the bold black numerals stay legible as the glass is lifted. Each pour brings the sign up close, which makes it a fitting souvenir for road-trip stories, bar-cart rounds and anyone with a soft spot for civil design.

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.
