Kokudou 214China (China) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz
This design reproduces the route marker of China's National Route 214, rendered as a flat, modern road sign with the designation G214 at its centre.
Visual Elements & Composition
Red dominates the design, covering most of the surface, with white providing the only contrast. A rounded rectangle sits at the heart of the composition, framed by a nested rounded border that repeats the sign's outline inward. The route number G214 is the single piece of text, set bold and centred so it reads at a glance. Nothing competes with it. The flat vector treatment keeps every edge crisp and every shape clearly separated, so the sign reads as a sign rather than as a picture of one.
Meaning & Symbolism
National Route 214 is one of the numbered national highways that form the backbone of China's road network, and its designation tells travellers exactly where they stand within that system. The design treats the number as the subject. Road numbering is a utilitarian language, built to be read quickly from a moving vehicle, and this artwork keeps that discipline. The result is a quiet celebration of the infrastructure that connects the country's vast landscapes, reduced to its most essential identifier.
Built for the Hand
A shot glass is small and held close, so the design is seen at arm's length and then up near the face, which suits a sign built to be read in a glance. The red plate and the single bold numeral stay legible even at this scale. The nested border gives the eye a clear path around the edge of the glass, turning a route marker into something you pick up, look at, and pass to a friend with a grin.

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.
- Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
- Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
- 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.
