I-495 MD Metric (Maryland) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Description

Design Elements

The artwork on this shot glass pays homage to the iconic Interstate highway system of the United States, specifically focusing on Interstate 495 within the state of Maryland. The design centers around a representation of a standard Interstate shield.

Interstate Shield: The Core Representation

The primary element is a faithful depiction of the familiar Interstate highway shield. This classic design features a vibrant red banner across the top, boldly displaying the word "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering. Below this, a bright blue field houses the prominent white numerals "495," clearly designating the specific highway.

Emphasis on Maryland & Lack of Metric

The design subtly emphasizes the geographical context by omitting any metric units, as the text specifies, I-495 in Maryland uses miles not kilometers. The absence of a metric indicator further reinforces the unique design narrative.

Meaning & Symbolism

This shot glass design celebrates the open road and the interconnectedness of transportation networks. The Interstate shield is instantly recognizable, representing a journey and symbolizes a sense of movement. The emphasis of the interstate highway shield represents the Maryland portion of the I-495 beltway system. The design signifies a commemorative piece, specifically highlighting the absence of metric signage, as a point of interest for interstate signage enthusiasts.

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.
