Route départementale française 45
Route départementale française 45 (France) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz
This flat vector piece reproduces the yellow departmental road marker of the Route départementale 45, a local road in France, rendered with the plain authority of a real roadside sign.
Visual Elements & Composition
Amber yellow covers most of the design, with black used sparingly for the characters and edging. A rounded rectangle, the cartouche, sits at the centre and carries the letter D followed by the numeral 45 in bold black. Nothing else competes for attention: no background scenery, no decoration, just the plate and its two-part marking. The restraint is deliberate, and it makes the sign read instantly at a glance.
Meaning & Symbolism
In France, the département, the local administrative authority, manages roads of this class, and each is identified by a yellow cartouche bearing a D and the route number. The marking is governed by the French Code de la route and follows the standards of the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, which is why its shape, colour and lettering are so consistent across the network. The design celebrates regional identity through the most ordinary of civic objects: the signs that guide drivers from one town to the next.
Crafted for the Last Sip
A shot glass is small, held close and tipped back in a single moment, so the design lives at the eye's closest range. The cartouche is drawn to a size that suits that intimacy, its D and 45 easy to read at arm's length. It makes a cheeky, well-travelled gift for anyone who has ever followed a yellow sign across the French countryside, and a conversation starter for everyone else.

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.
- Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
- Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
- 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.
