I-605 WA Metric (Washington) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design replicates a piece of forgotten transportation history: the I-605 WA Metric road sign, a relic of the U.S. metrication experiment in Washington State during the 1970s and 1980s. The artwork directly references the visual elements of this sign, offering a glimpse into a unique moment in American infrastructure.

Interstate Shield

At the heart of the design is the iconic Interstate shield. The top banner, in a striking red, boldly displays "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering. Below, the main field presents a deep blue canvas, punctuated by the prominent white numerals "605". The white border crisply defines the shield's shape, ensuring its clear recognition.

Metric Context and State Branding

While the Interstate shield retains its standard design, the design contextually represents a metric signage scenario. This is symbolized by the implied surrounding signs, which in the real world would display distances and speed limits in kilometers. This design cleverly evokes this era without needing to visually include the metric units themselves.

Although not explicitly stated in the design, the implied presence of the state name “WASHINGTON” above or below the shield further contextualizes the sign's origin.

Nostalgia and Symbolism

The design, with its red, white, and blue color palette, is intrinsically tied to the American interstate system, representing travel, connectivity, and the vastness of the nation. It also stands as a testament to a unique moment in the evolution of American infrastructure. The 605, though a proposed route and never fully constructed, captures the spirit of planning and foresight. The design, therefore, functions as a commemorative piece, celebrating the history of road signage and the brief experiment with metrication.

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.
