About this design
Route métropolitaine 1014 NCA
Route métropolitaine 1014 NCA (France) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz
This design takes a single French road marker, the route code M1014, and sets it out as a clean, confident piece of transit signage.
Visual Elements & Composition
Azure blue fills most of the picture, with off-white reserved for the lettering and a thin edge of contrast. The white bold sans-serif characters M1014 sit centred on a rounded rectangular plate, and a horizontal rectangle frames the layout. Nothing competes with the code. The flat vector treatment keeps every edge crisp, so the numerals read instantly at a glance.
Meaning & Symbolism
The marker belongs to France's metropolitan route network, where alphanumeric codes like this one tell drivers exactly which road they are on. The design celebrates that quiet system of identifiers: the letter prefix, the number, and the blue plate that French navigators have trusted for decades. It is a tribute to regional cartography and to the everyday infrastructure that holds a country's traffic together, rendered with the restraint of official transit markings.
Made for the Shot Glass in Hand
A shot glass is small and held close, so the design reads at arm's length and in a single look. The blue field and bold white code are the first thing you see when the glass is lifted, the way a driver spots a route marker from the road. Pour a toast for a friend who loves French road trips, or for anyone who has ever followed a sign through an unfamiliar town and found exactly where they needed to be.

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.
