Kokudou 322China (China) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz
This design takes the form of a bold red road shield, with the route marker G322 set in white at its centre.
Visual Elements & Composition
Red dominates the artwork, covering roughly seven-tenths of the surface, with white taking up most of the rest. A rounded rectangle forms the shield, and a second rounded border sits inside it in white, so the outer red frame and inner white edge read as nested layers. The route number G322 is set in heavy white figures at the centre. Black is present only as a trace, so the piece reads as pure red and white. The flat vector treatment keeps every edge crisp, with no shading or texture to soften the form.
Meaning & Symbolism
The shield and its number come from the signage of Japan's national highway network, where Kokudou 322 identifies a specific route. The addition of China links that formal Japanese designation to an international geographic reference, so the artwork pairs domestic road engineering with the wider corridors of East Asian travel. Its subject is the labelling system itself: a short alphanumeric code that tells a driver where they are and where the road leads. The result is a modern, formal tribute to road marking and to the precision that keeps transit networks legible.
Where the Design Meets the Glass
A shot glass is small and held close, so the shield is read at arm's length and then up near the lip, one quick glance at a time. The bold red and white reward that close attention: the nested border frames the number the way a sign frames its route, and the design stays legible even as the glass is lifted and turned. Gift it to someone who keeps a map in the glovebox and knows the road by its number.

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.
