I-195 MD Metric (Maryland) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to the quintessential American Interstate road sign, specifically for I-195 in Maryland, while playfully acknowledging the non-existence of metric signage. The artwork cleverly blends visual cues that resonate with the design of a standard highway sign, creating a unique and ironic statement piece.

Visual Elements

The core of the design is the iconic Interstate shield. Rendered in its classic red, white, and blue, the shield boldly displays "195" in large, clear white numerals, instantly identifying the route. Surrounding the shield, the design incorporates a subtle nod to the official road sign design; however, the absence of a metric measurement symbolizes the fact that the actual I-195 in Maryland is not signed in kilometers.

Meaning & Symbolism

The design's irony stems from its subject. While Interstates like I-195 in Maryland are exclusively signed using the English (Imperial) system of measurement (miles), this design presents a hypothetical metric version, celebrating a "what if" scenario that never materialized. The presence of the "I-195" emblem and "MD" abbreviation, rooted in the familiar design language of road signage, creates a playful, yet accurate representation of the route while simultaneously highlighting the United States' historical reluctance to fully embrace the metric system for road signs.

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.
