PA-82 1948 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A stark, flat-coloured road sign reduced to its essentials: a white field, a black route shield and the word PENNA set above the number 82.

Visual Elements & Composition

White covers most of the design, with black taking up the remaining share. The layout is strictly frontal, so nothing competes with the sign itself. A keystone-shaped panel frames the word PENNA, and a shield-shaped marker carries the numeral 82 at the centre. The lettering is bold and blocky, the kind of signage that had to be read at speed from a moving car. There is no shading or texture, only crisp edges and two colours doing all the work.

Meaning & Symbolism

Route markers like this one were the wayfinding system of American highways in the mid-twentieth century. The shield tells a driver which numbered road they are on, and the keystone reference nods to Pennsylvania, the Keystone State. The 1948 date places the design in the years when the national road network was being signed and standardised, so the piece reads as a record of how people navigated the country as much as a graphic.

Made for the Bar Shelf

A shot glass is small, held close and tipped back in a single motion, so the design sits at eye level the moment it is picked up. Printed on a 1.5oz glass, the sign shrinks to a compact emblem that rewards a closer look. Its simplicity suits a clear vessel, where the black and white contrast stays sharp against whatever is poured.

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.
