PA-36 1948 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This shot glass carries a flat, graphic route marker: a black Pennsylvania keystone outline set against a clean white field, with the designation PA-36 and the year 1948 stacked in bold characters.

Visual Elements & Composition

White dominates the design, with black taking up a small share of the surface. The keystone shape sits at the centre of the layout, its angled sides and flat top giving the piece a crisp, badge-like silhouette. The lettering is the only detail inside the outline: the word PENNA runs across the upper section and the number 36 is set large beneath it. Nothing is layered or shaded, so the image reads at a glance from across a table.

Meaning & Symbolism

Route markers are the signs that let drivers know which road they are on, and this one borrows the Pennsylvania keystone to name the state. The number 36 identifies the route itself, while 1948 places the sign in the post-war decades when American highway numbering was being standardised across the country. The design speaks in the plain visual language of that era of road signage, so the story it tells is one of travel and regional identity rather than ornament.

Hold It Close, Read It Clearly

A shot glass is small and held close to the eye, so the keystone and its bold numerals are seen up near the rim rather than from a distance. The simple two-colour layout suits that viewing distance, and the white field lets the black lettering stand out wherever the glass is set down on a bar or 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.
