I-82 WA Metric (Washington) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features the instantly recognizable Interstate 82 shield, a symbol of travel and the U.S. highway system. The design pays homage to a brief period in American history when the country experimented with metric road signs, offering a unique blend of familiar and historical elements.

The Shield

The centerpiece of the design is the classic Interstate shield. This icon, with its red top band and blue central field containing the white numerals "82," is a visual shorthand for a specific highway. The bold white border provides a strong visual contrast, making the shield easily identifiable at a glance. The use of the standard Interstate shield design ensures recognition and familiarity.

Metric Context

The design implies the context of metric signage, reflecting a historical adaptation of road signs. While the shield itself is unchanged, the design represents the surrounding guide signs that would have displayed distances and speeds in kilometers. This detail provides a nostalgic nod to a specific moment in transportation history, where the familiar was briefly expressed in a new system.

Symbolism and Meaning

This design represents a journey—both geographically, along I-82 in Washington, and historically, through the era of metric experimentation. It symbolizes the evolution of transportation infrastructure and the adoption of international measurement systems. It offers a conversation starter for those interested in history, highways, and the subtle changes that shape our world.

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.
