NC 288 1957 (North Carolina) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A bordered diamond route marker for North Carolina Highway 288, with the state monogram and route number set in black on a white field.

Visual Elements & Composition

White dominates the design, with black used for the border and lettering and a faint grey note in the detailing. The rounded-corner diamond sits centred on the field, and the letters “NC” stand above the numerals “288”. The sign is presented on its own, with no backdrop or added graphics, so the layout reads as a direct piece of roadside signage.

Meaning & Symbolism

A route marker like this one identifies a numbered road, showing travellers which highway they are following across North Carolina. The year 1957 in the title places the sign in the mid-twentieth century, when this style of route shield was a common sight on American roads. The design celebrates the everyday system of wayfinding that connected the state's communities.

A Route Marker at Arm's Length

A shot glass is small and held close, so the diamond falls within easy view as you lift it. The bold black border stands out against the clear glass, and the compact shape suits the scale of the vessel, giving the route number a clean, legible presence on 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.

  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.
