PA-157 1948 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This shot glass carries a stark, flat-vector road sign: a white keystone shape set on black, with the word PENNA across the top and the numeral 157 beneath it.

Visual Elements & Composition

Black and white are the only colours in the design, with white covering most of the field. The trapezoid of the sign shape dominates the composition, centred and symmetrical, so the eye lands on the lettering first. The text is set in a plain, blocky typeface with generous spacing, and the lack of any gradient, shading or ornament keeps the sign reading clearly at a glance. Nothing competes with the shape or the figures.

Meaning & Symbolism

The design is modelled on the state route markers of Pennsylvania, the kind of sign drivers passed on rural and highway roads in the mid-twentieth century. The 157 is the route number and PENNA identifies the state, so the sign works as a compact reference to American road travel and regional identity. The 1948 date in the title places the artwork in that post-war period, when road numbering and the built landscape of the state were taking the form that many people still recall.

Built for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the sign is seen at arm's length, one face of the glass at a time. The tight, upright keystone suits the narrow straight sides of the glass, and the bold black lettering stays legible when the glass is turned in the hand. It makes a fitting souvenir for anyone who has driven Pennsylvania's roads, or a conversation piece on a home bar shelf.

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.
