PA-160 1948 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A flat black-and-white keystone shield bearing PENNA across the top and the number 160 below.

Visual Elements & Composition

The design uses only white and black, with white forming most of the field. The keystone shield, a pentagonal outline with its point at the bottom, is the principal shape and sits squarely in the frame. PENNA is set in small capitals along the upper edge, while the numerals 160 are larger and carry the centre of the composition. Edges are clean and there is no shading, so the figures read immediately.

Meaning & Symbolism

The keystone is the form Pennsylvania adopted for its state route markers, the signs that guided motorists along numbered highways in the mid-twentieth century. Route 160 is one of those roads, and PENNA identifies the state that marked it. The 1948 date in the title ties the design to the post-war period, when these markers were a common sight on the roads across the state.

Made for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the shield is taken in at arm's length as the glass is turned. The pentagon follows the straight, narrowing lines of the glass and the bold black lettering holds its shape through the clear wall. It works as a compact piece of Pennsylvania road history, and it pairs naturally with other route-sign pieces 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.
