Shoudou 049China
Shoudou 049China (China) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz
Shoudou 049China is a flat, bold graphic built around a rounded-rectangle road sign plate in saturated yellow, framed by a black border and centred on the code S049.
Visual Elements & Composition
Yellow fills roughly four-fifths of the design, so the sign reads as one confident block of colour. Black supplies the border and the alphanumeric code, which sits centred and unbroken within the plate. Nothing competes with it: no gradients, no ornament, no background clutter. The rounded corners soften the outline just enough to keep the layout calm and modern, and the flat vector treatment keeps every edge crisp.
Meaning & Symbolism
The design borrows the visual language of route signage, the kind of marker that tells a traveller they are on the right road. The code S049 identifies the route in the way a sign number does, turning a utilitarian object into a quiet cultural reference to China. The Shoudou series gives the piece its name and its collection logic, and the result is a modern work that treats signage as a considered, minimalist emblem rather than a piece of street furniture.
On the Shot Glass
A shot glass is small, held close and tipped back in one motion, so the sign is seen at arm's length and in full, with the code sitting right in front of the eye. The plate's compact, self-contained shape suits a vessel of this size: the design needs no wrap or scale to work, and it reads clearly the moment the glass is lifted.

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.
