PA-85 1948 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design is a road-sign style marker: the designation PA-85 and the year 1948 sit on a black ground, set within the keystone-and-trapezoid outline of a highway shield.

Visual Elements & Composition

White dominates the artwork at roughly four fifths, with black forming the ground beneath it. The flat vector shapes are simple, a keystone form at the centre supported by trapezoidal edges, and the lettering reads PENNA above the numerals 85. The layout is plain and direct, with no ornament, so the code and the state name carry the whole composition.

Meaning & Symbolism

Shield-shaped markers of this kind belong to the visual language of American highway signage, where a short code identifies a route within a state. Pairing that device with the year 1948 gives the design a mid-century, nostalgic character and ties it to Pennsylvania’s own road-marking history.

Shot Glass Presentation

A shot glass is small and held close, so the shield reads at arm’s length, one clean emblem on a single face of the glass. The bold white-on-black contrast stands out clearly in a hand or on a counter.

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.
