I-595 VA 1961 (Virginia) Shot Glass - Design Details

This shot glass features a vibrant and historically significant design, meticulously crafted to represent a piece of American road sign history. The artwork pays homage to the 1961 Interstate signage standards, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the era of early Interstate highway construction.

The Iconic Shield

The central element of the design is the iconic Interstate shield. It's a bold and recognizable symbol, a hallmark of the US Interstate Highway System. The top band, painted in a striking red, proudly displays "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering, immediately communicating its purpose. The main field, rendered in a deep blue, showcases the white numerals "595," representing the specific route number. The stark white border neatly outlines the shield, providing a clear and defined form.

A Slice of Virginia History

The design evokes the idea of a planned or hypothetical spur of I-95, or another major Interstate, in Virginia, as envisioned in 1961. The inclusion of the "595" number implies a connection to a primary Interstate, serving as a vital link to a city or urban center, in the original concept.

Direction and Location

The absence of direction or state name on this rendition allows the viewer to imagine the sign in its intended setting. The sign would have likely displayed a directional banner with NORTH / SOUTH / EAST / WEST. Ultimately, this design encapsulates the spirit of 1960s highway planning in Virginia, preserving a moment in time and inviting a conversation about the history of American roadways.

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.
