NC 102 1957 (North Carolina) Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass features a classic piece of North Carolina history: the 1957 NC 102 highway sign. The design pays homage to a mid-century era of road signage, showcasing the simple yet impactful aesthetic of the time.

Visual Elements

The design faithfully recreates the iconic "NC State Outline Shield." The central element is the crisp, white silhouette of the state of North Carolina. A solid black border elegantly frames the state's outline, providing a strong visual definition.

Inside the state silhouette, centered and boldly displayed in black numerals, is the route number "102." This straightforward, sans-serif font mirrors the utilitarian design of the original signs, emphasizing clarity and legibility.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design is a direct representation of North Carolina's primary state route markers from the mid-1950s. The simplicity of the black-and-white design speaks to a functional aesthetic, a time when efficiency and practicality were paramount. The shield shape and the state's outline symbolize North Carolina's identity and its commitment to infrastructure.

The vintage design acts as a nostalgic nod to an earlier era of travel and road culture in North Carolina. It evokes a sense of history and the enduring appeal of mid-century design.

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.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — 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 — 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 (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
