PA-161 1948 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A keystone route marker in flat black and white, with PENNA set above the number 161.

Visual Elements & Composition

White makes up most of the design and black draws the shield outline, the state name and the route number. The keystone form is the main shape, set upright and centred so the whole sign reads as one unit. PENNA runs in smaller type across the top, and 161 is set large in the lower centre, where it holds the composition together. The graphic is spare and even, with no shading or extra detail competing with the figures.

Meaning & Symbolism

The keystone shape is the one Pennsylvania used on its route markers, signs that helped drivers follow numbered roads through the state in the years after the Second World War. Route 161 is one road in that system, and PENNA names the state that set the sign. The 1948 date in the title ties the piece to that period, when the state's road network was becoming a familiar part of everyday travel.

Made for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, and the sign is seen at arm's length as the glass is turned. The keystone's narrowing lines echo the taper of the glass, and the bold black numerals stay readable through the clear wall. It makes a fitting reminder of Pennsylvania's roads for anyone who has driven them, and it sits well beside other route-sign pieces on a 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.
