I-64 WV Metric (Virginia) Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass commemorates the historical use of metric signage on Interstate 64 in Virginia. The design directly reflects the unique visual identity of these rare road signs.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element of the design is a faithful representation of the I-64 shield. This iconic symbol features the standard red, white, and blue design, proudly displaying the route number "64." The vibrant colors and bold typography immediately identify the subject matter: the legendary highway itself.

The state's name, "VIRGINIA," is prominently featured in white lettering against a blue field, mirroring the actual appearance of the roadside signage. This specific detail reinforces the origin of the metric road sign in the state.

A smaller, yet crucial, visual component is the inclusion of text such as "Next Exit 5 km." This detail represents the use of metric distances, specifically kilometers (km), instead of miles. The green rectangular sign further demonstrates the visual appearance of the metric distance markers along this historic stretch of highway.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design serves as a tangible link to a brief but significant period in American highway history. It represents a bold, but short-lived, attempt to adopt the metric system. The inclusion of "VIRGINIA" underscores the state’s part in this experiment, making the shot glass a nostalgic tribute to a bygone era.

The use of the familiar Interstate shield symbolizes the nation's highway system and the journey. The adoption of the metric system is further emphasized, representing experimentation and a brief divergence from the established norm, resulting in a historically rich piece.

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.
