G05.11 (Iceland) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz
This design takes the form of a road sign and gives it over to Iceland, an island nation in the North Atlantic whose roads run through some of Europe's most dramatic landscapes.
Visual Elements & Composition
The artwork is built around the conventions of a road sign: a single, clearly bounded panel with a bold central motif and no decorative clutter. Nothing competes with the main subject. The layout reads at a glance, the way a sign must when it is passed at speed, and that directness is the point of the piece.
Meaning & Symbolism
A road sign is a promise of direction. Placing Iceland at its centre turns that promise into a statement of place, a reminder that the country is defined by its open roads, its wide skies and its long distances between settlements. The series code G05.11 marks the design as one entry in a numbered collection, so the sign works as a signpost within a larger body of work.
Made for the Shot Glass
A shot glass is small and held close, lifted to eye level before it is tipped back. That brings the sign right up to the reader's face, so the design is taken in at close range rather than from across a room. Each time the glass is raised, the sign is at the front of the moment, a small and cheeky way to point the way to the next round.

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.
