I-164 VA 1961 (Virginia) Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass features a meticulously crafted design that pays homage to the historic I-164 road sign as it would have appeared in Virginia during 1961. The artwork directly replicates the iconic Interstate shield, instantly recognizable for its association with the American highway system.

The Interstate Shield

The core of the design is the standard Interstate shield. A bold red band across the top declares "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering, a declarative statement of the route's federal importance. The main field of the shield is a vibrant blue, providing a striking contrast and a visually appealing backdrop.

Numerals and Color Scheme

Dominating the blue field are the large, clear white numerals "164." This number signifies the specific Interstate route designation, allowing travelers to immediately identify the road. The red, white, and blue color scheme is not merely decorative; it’s a deliberate design choice echoing the colors of the American flag and symbolizing a national network of roadways.

Direction and State Details

The design also acknowledges the navigational element inherent in road signs. Though not explicitly rendered, the design concept encompasses the directional banners (NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, or WEST) often accompanying these signs, directing travelers to their destinations. It also evokes the potential inclusion of “VIRGINIA” within the complete sign, reinforcing the location of this specific route. This design ensures that the road sign's context is never overlooked, reflecting its significance.

Legacy and Symbolism

The design, in its entirety, represents a tangible connection to the past, reminding us of the infrastructure that connects our nation. It’s a nostalgic nod to a time when travel was less about speed and more about the journey, a simple yet effective statement of Americana.

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.
