NYCDOT W14-4 (New York) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This shot glass reproduces a New York City Department of Transportation warning sign reading DEAD END on a yellow diamond.

Visual Elements & Composition

Yellow covers most of the diamond, with a black border and black lettering. The words DEAD and END are stacked in two bold lines at the centre, and the code W14-4 and DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION sit along the lower edge. The composition is simple and symmetrical, so the diamond shape and the two words are the only things the eye needs to take in. The flat vector finish keeps the letterforms sharp.

Meaning & Symbolism

The W prefix marks this as a warning sign in the city's own sign system, and the diamond is the familiar shape of caution across the road network. DEAD END tells a driver that the road ahead stops, which is information that matters most to someone who has been travelling without a clear view of the street pattern. The sign is a small, direct piece of city wayfinding, and its plain wording suits the way warnings are read at speed.

On the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and is seen at close range, so the yellow diamond and its two bold words are taken in quickly as the glass is lifted. The compact layout fits the narrow body of a 1.5oz glass, and the centred lettering stays clear from 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.

  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.
