I-83 PA Metric (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design captures the essence of a unique moment in American road sign history: the I-83 PA Metric sign. It's a miniature homage to the short-lived experiment with metric units on roadways.

Visual Elements

The artwork centers around the iconic Interstate shield. It's instantly recognizable with its red top banner, bearing the inscription "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering. Below, the main field is a deep blue, punctuated by the bold, white numerals "83." A clean white border cleanly defines the shield's shape.

Meaning and Symbolism

The Interstate shield itself symbolizes the national network of highways and the crucial role they play in connecting communities and facilitating travel. The "83" specifically identifies this portion of the Interstate system in Pennsylvania, linking major cities and carrying commuters and travelers across the state.

The "Metric" aspect adds a layer of historical significance, referencing a time when the U.S. briefly experimented with the metric system. This detail transforms a standard road sign into a symbol of change, experimentation, and a specific moment in the evolution of American infrastructure. The integration of metric units, likely seen on accompanying guide signs, is suggested through the context of the design, although not directly presented.

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.
