I-83 PA 1957 (Pennsylvania) Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass features a meticulously crafted representation of the original 1957 Interstate shield used on the I-83 highway in Pennsylvania. The design is a vibrant and historically accurate depiction of a significant piece of American transportation history.

Key Visual Elements

The centerpiece of the design is the iconic Interstate shield, a symbol instantly recognizable to travelers across the United States. Its form is a classic cutout, reflecting the standard design used when Pennsylvania first adopted the Interstate Highway System.

Color and Symbolism

The shield is rendered in the original colors: a bold red top band containing the word "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering, a blue main field displaying the number "83" in prominent white numerals, and a clean white outline bordering the entire shield. These colors are not merely aesthetic choices; they carry symbolic weight. Red signifies the importance and urgency of the Interstate system, white represents clarity and visibility, and blue denotes the open road and freedom of travel.

Further enhancing the design is the inclusion of "PENNSYLVANIA," mirroring the authentic signage of the era, and a directional banner, signaling the north/south nature of I-83. These details are integral to the historical context of the design.

Meaning and Representation

This shot glass design celebrates the history of American infrastructure and the establishment of the Interstate Highway System. It's a tribute to the era of post-war expansion and the modernizing of travel and transportation.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
