NYCDOT SP-145C (New York) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This shot glass carries a vertical, tongue-in-cheek parking warning in the style of a New York City Department of Transportation sign, with a bold red header and a short slogan.

Visual Elements & Composition

Black dominates the lower field, with a red band across the top and white lettering set between them. The layout is tall and narrow, so the eye moves down the sign line by line. The header reads RED ZONE, and the slogan runs across the centre in DON'T EVEN THINK OF PARKING HERE. A small DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION line and the code SP-145C sit at the foot. The flat vector treatment keeps the hard edges clean at small size.

Meaning & Symbolism

The code belongs to the city's internal sign catalogue rather than the national standard, so the design speaks to New York's own municipal voice. Real restriction signs are blunt and procedural. Here the same format is turned into a joke, which gives the piece its humour. It nods to the everyday reality of parking enforcement in a dense city, where a red zone is a serious matter for every driver who passes it.

Turned Toward the Bar

A shot glass is small and is seen at close range, so the slogan is read in a single glance as the glass is lifted or set down. The vertical format suits the narrow sides of a 1.5oz glass, and the red header stays visible from across a 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.
