About this design
Route départementale française 990
Route départementale française 990 (France) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz
This design takes a single French road marker and turns it into a bold, graphic emblem: the code D 990 set in black on a golden yellow field.
Visual Elements & Composition
Golden yellow fills most of the frame, with black taking up the remaining share as crisp lettering. The artwork is a flat vector image built around a rounded rectangle, the familiar outline of a registration-style plate. Nothing decorative competes with it. The letter D sits above or beside the numerals 990, and the characters are simple, blocky and evenly spaced, so the code reads at a glance. The layout is centred and symmetrical, with the sign's shape doing most of the visual work.
Meaning & Symbolism
In France, the letter D marks a departmental road, one of the routes managed at the level of the département rather than the national network. The number 990 identifies this particular road within that system. The design therefore stands for the organised way French roads are named and numbered, a system that lets a driver recognise a route from its marking alone. Its tone is practical and modern, drawn from the vocabulary of signage and transport rather than from scenery or ornament.
Designed to Be Read Up Close
A shot glass is small and held close, so this artwork is seen at arm's length and from above as the glass is lifted. The bright yellow and sharp black numerals read clearly at that distance, turning the glass into a small, sociable road marker. It is the kind of detail that invites a second look and a question about where the road leads, which suits a glass that is passed across a table and shared.

- When you order it
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.
One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
