I-81 PA 1957 (Pennsylvania) Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass features a design that instantly transports you back to the early days of the Interstate Highway System. The artwork pays homage to the original I-81 highway marker used in Pennsylvania, circa 1957, a design dating back to the program's inception under President Eisenhower.

Design Elements

The central focus is the iconic shield shape, a symbol of American roadways and infrastructure. The top portion of the shield is rendered in a vibrant red, above a blue body. This color scheme itself reflects the patriotic spirit associated with post-war America and the growth of the nation.

The text is rendered in a clean, white font, with "INTERSTATE" boldly displayed on the red top. Beneath, on the blue section, "PENNSYLVANIA" is clearly stated, identifying the route’s geographical location. At the heart of the design, the route number "81" is prominently featured in large, white numerals, visually anchoring the entire design.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a significant piece of American history and the modernization of transportation. The Interstate shield symbolizes connectivity, mobility, and the ambition to unify the nation through infrastructure. The inclusion of "PENNSYLVANIA" anchors the marker to its specific place, while the use of the 1957 style signifies a bygone era of road travel and a direct link to the earliest days of interstate highway travel.

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.
