I-795 MD Metric Shot Glass: Design Overview

This shot glass features a design inspired by the rare and historically significant I-795 MD Metric Maryland road sign. The artwork immediately calls to mind the interstate highway system, specifically the portion of I-795 that runs through Maryland, connecting Baltimore and Reisterstown. The core visual element is the iconic Interstate shield, instantly recognizable by its red "INTERSTATE" banner, a blue background, and the white route number "795." This instantly communicates the road's classification and numerical designation.

Metric Influence

The "Metric" designation is subtly implied within the overall aesthetic. While the shield itself adheres to standard Interstate design, the concept represents a time when the United States considered adopting the metric system. The "MD" likely appears, which further specifies the state of Maryland within the Interstate Highway system.

Symbolism

The design, at its core, symbolizes a pivotal moment in American transportation history—the experimentation with metric units on roadways. It represents a commitment to progress, and international standardization that never became widespread. It also commemorates a specific geographic location. The I-795 shield also signifies a connection between cities and towns, representing travel, and the infrastructure that supports it.

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.
