CR RNS 205
CR RNS 205 (Costa Rica) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz
This design takes the initials of Costa Rica as its entire subject, set against a minimalist field that lets the letters and their numerals carry the image.
Visual Elements & Composition
The composition is spare and direct. The name "CR" and the identifier "205" sit at the centre of the piece, with no surrounding iconography to compete for attention. The palette and layout follow the same restraint, so the eye goes straight to the lettering and the sequence of numerals. Nothing decorative is added, which is why the design reads as a clean, graphic statement rather than a pictorial scene.
Meaning & Symbolism
The piece is built around national identity and geography. Costa Rica's initials stand in for the country itself, a shorthand that signals place without a map or landmark. The "205" reads as a classification code, the kind of reference number used to file items within a larger series of regional studies, so the design points toward systematic identification as much as toward the nation. Its themes are geography, national identity and alphanumeric classification, and its meaning rests on that pairing of country and code.
Every Sip Tells a Little Story
A shot glass is small, held close and tipped back in a single move, so the design sits right under your eye at the moment you lift it. Those compact letters and numerals become a quiet talking point for the table, a conversation starter for anyone who has been to Costa Rica or simply wants a bit of its identity on the bar cart. Pour a round, raise the glass and let the code do the talking.

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.
- Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
- Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
- 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.
