PA-117 1948 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces a Pennsylvania state route marker, the kind of plain roadside sign that tells a driver which numbered highway they are on.

Visual Elements & Composition

The sign is flat and high-contrast, built from a field of white with black lettering and border. The shape is a keystone, a shield-like outline that narrows toward the bottom, and it sits at the centre of the composition with nothing competing around it. The word PENNA runs across the top, with the route number 117 set large beneath it. Because the palette is only black and white, the numerals and lettering carry the whole image.

Meaning & Symbolism

Route markers exist to be read at a glance from a moving car, so the design is pure information: a state name and a number. The 1948 date places the sign in the postwar years, when American road numbering was becoming the familiar network of state highways that still guides travellers today. It is a small piece of the everyday infrastructure of Pennsylvania, given a second life as a reproduction.

Why It Suits the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small, held close and emptied in a single motion, so the sign has to work at that scale too. Its bold black-and-white layout reads clearly on the curved side of a 1.5oz glass, and the marker stays legible from the hand to the table. It makes a conversation piece for anyone who has driven the length of the state and wondered where the numbers came from.

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.
