I-895 PA 1957 Shot Glass: Design and Visuals

This shot glass features a striking design inspired by a piece of American transportation history: the proposed Interstate 895 highway as envisioned in Pennsylvania during the year 1957. The artwork is a faithful recreation of a vintage road sign, offering a glimpse into early interstate highway design.

Classic Interstate Shield

The primary element is the iconic "Interstate shield" shape, immediately recognizable to anyone familiar with US highways. The design adheres to the standard color scheme of red, white, and blue, a visual shorthand that signifies the national interstate system.

Pennsylvania's Mark

Adding a unique Pennsylvania touch, the design incorporates the word "PENNSYLVANIA" arching above the route number. This inscription reflects a stylistic choice common in the early days of the interstate system, clearly indicating the state's jurisdiction over the planned highway. This element speaks to the regional pride and ownership of the infrastructure.

Route Number

The number "895" is boldly displayed within the shield, using the standard Interstate numeral font of the era. The presence of this specific route number and font creates a sense of authenticity, inviting viewers to ponder the unrealized potential of this Pennsylvania interstate.

Overall Impression

The design evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era, recalling the ambitious infrastructure projects of mid-20th century America. It's a tribute to the legacy of road design and a visual reminder of a highway that, while never fully realized, remains a part of Pennsylvania's transportation history.

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.
