I-105 OR Metric (Oregon) (Road Sign) Shot Glass

Design Overview

This shot glass features a compelling design inspired by the I-105 OR Metric road signs that once graced Oregon highways during a brief U.S. metrication experiment. The artwork cleverly encapsulates the essence of this unique historical artifact.

Central Emblem: The Interstate Shield

The primary visual element is, of course, the iconic Interstate shield. The familiar shape is faithfully rendered, with a red top band boldly proclaiming "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering. Below, the expansive blue field is emblazoned with the large, easily recognizable white numerals "105." A thin white border frames the entire shield, providing a clean and defined edge.

Contextual Details

While the Interstate shield itself adheres to the traditional design, the design represents the brief era where distances were measured in kilometers. Though not depicted directly on the shot glass, the design signifies the era when directional banners ("EAST" or "WEST") and adjacent guide signs would have displayed distances and speeds using metric units (kilometers per hour).

Meaning and Symbolism

The design serves as a nostalgic nod to a specific moment in American transportation history. The shield is a symbol of connectivity and the Interstate system's role in linking communities. The "105" specifically represents the connector route in Eugene, Oregon. This shot glass design commemorates the experiment with metric signage, offering a unique blend of American road culture and historical curiosity.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
