Kokudou 564China (China) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz
This design takes the form of a red road shield carrying the white route number G564, a flat, bold piece of highway signage built around a single designation.
Visual Elements & Composition
Red dominates the composition, filling roughly seven-tenths of the field, with white taking most of the remainder. The shape is a rounded rectangle, and a concentric rounded-rectangle border sits inside it in white, so the eye reads the outer edge first and then settles on the centre. The numerals G564 are the only text, set in white and centred so nothing competes with them. The style is flat vector with no shading or ornament, which keeps the image as clean as the signs it imitates.
Meaning & Symbolism
The design draws on the functional language of route markers. The Kokudou 564 is a national highway route in China, and its alphanumeric designation is the subject here: a code that lets drivers and planners identify one specific path across a large network. Pairing the route number with the Chinese geographic identifier ties a piece of transport infrastructure to a place, and the piece celebrates the connectivity that roads create across a landscape. Its modern, minimal treatment reflects the way route signs are designed to be read at a glance.
Made for the Shot Glass in Hand
A shot glass is small and held close, so a sign this bold suits it well. The red shield and white numerals read clearly from the rim down to the base, and the design sits within the reach of a single glance, much like a marker seen from the roadside. Raise it for a toast and the route number faces you, a compact reminder of a road that runs far beyond the table.

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.
