NC 53 1945 (North Carolina) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A flat, black-and-white road sign reduced to its essentials: a diamond-shaped highway marker carrying the letters NC and the route number 53, with the year 1945 set alongside.

Visual Elements & Composition

Black dominates a white field, roughly one part ink to four parts paper. A square outline turned 45 degrees forms the diamond, and the NC monogram and the numeral 53 sit inside it with no illustration or ornament competing for attention. The layout is strictly graphic: clean edges, even spacing, and text as the only image.

Meaning & Symbolism

The diamond marker is the familiar sign language of numbered routes, the shape a driver reads at a glance from the road. North Carolina is named outright, so the piece points to a regional identity, and the year 1945 turns the marker into a dated reference point, a moment fixed on the sign itself.

Held Close Up

A 1.5oz shot glass is small and held close, so the diamond and its numerals read as a single compact emblem rather than a distant roadside sign. Printed on a glass that is turned in the hand, the black lettering stays crisp against the clear surface and the whole marker comes into view at once.

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.
