NH166D-IN (India) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz
This design takes the form of a road sign, a familiar roadside shape that points the eye in a direction, and fills it with an India-themed motif from the NH166D series.
Visual Elements & Composition
The composition is built around the sign itself: a single, deliberate panel with the motif held inside its frame, so the eye reads the sign first and the India theme second. The designation NH166D-IN marks the artwork as one numbered entry in a set rather than a standalone image. Nothing competes for attention. The layout is pared back and orderly, which suits a motif meant to be taken in at a glance.
Meaning & Symbolism
A road sign is a message of direction and place, and this one points to India. Its themes are Indian culture and regional identity, so the sign works as a signal of origin, saying where its subject comes from and how it belongs to a wider collection of regional designs. The numbering keeps each entry tied to that origin, so the series reads as a coherent body of work about one country's cultural character.
On the Shot Glass
A shot glass is small and held close, so this sign is read at arm's length, turned slowly in the hand before the drink is poured. The road sign becomes a little cheeky conversation piece: a direction in the palm and a reminder of a place with a strong sense of identity. It makes a warm, thoughtful gift for anyone who collects souvenirs with a story, and the sign does the talking as the glass passes across 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.
