PA-98 1948 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A flat black-and-white Pennsylvania route sign with PENNA set across a trapezoidal top and the number 98 standing in the keystone below.

Visual Elements & Composition

The layout is built from two simple shapes, a trapezoid that frames the lettering and a keystone that holds the route number. White covers roughly four-fifths of the surface, and black is reserved for outlines and characters. PENNA is set across the upper trapezoid, while the numerals 98 fill the keystone and take the visual weight of the piece. The design is entirely flat, with no shading or extra ornament, so the sign's geometry does all the work.

Meaning & Symbolism

The keystone shape was the badge of Pennsylvania's numbered state highways, and PENNA identifies the state directly on the sign. The year 1948 places the marker in the post-war period, when American road signage was being standardised across the country. A route number was a working label that let drivers keep track of where they were and where a road was taking them. The design records that everyday function, presented here without embellishment.

Made for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and lifted close to the eye, so this sign is seen at arm's length as the glass is raised. The keystone outline holds its shape against the clear glass, and the number 98 remains readable at close range. The flat, two-shape layout suits a compact vessel, and the design is quick to take in each time the glass is picked up.

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.
