About this design
Route nationale française 148bis
Route nationale française 148bis (France) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz
This design takes the form of a French road sign, a red plate carrying the route marker of the Route nationale française 148bis, one of the secondary national roads that thread through France.
Visual Elements & Composition
Red dominates the artwork, covering roughly four-fifths of the surface, with white making up the rest. The sign is set as a flat vector graphic, with a rounded rectangle as its main shape and a horizontal white banner running across the centre. Inside that banner sit the characters N, 148 and BIS, arranged in a single clear line. Nothing competes with them. The layout is plain and direct, so the route number is the first thing the eye reads.
Meaning & Symbolism
National road numbering is how France organises its long-distance network, and the N prefix marks a route of national importance. The suffix BIS identifies a variant of an earlier route number, a common way the French network has been extended and revised over time. The sign therefore records a specific piece of infrastructure, a single road identified by its designation rather than by any landmark. It speaks to French geography, the history of road transport, and the way regional routes are named and mapped across the country.
Why It Suits a Shot
A shot glass is small and held close, lifted at eye level and read in the moment before it is raised. That suits a design built on a short, legible designation. The red plate and white banner stay sharp at close range, and the route number sits where the drinker's gaze naturally lands. Pour a round, raise a toast to a road you have driven or one you have only found on a map, and let the sign do the talking.

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.
