Virginia 1 1924 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a piece of Virginia's transportation history: the design of the original 1924 Virginia State Route 1 road sign. The design pays homage to the early days of automobile travel and standardized highway signage.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element of the design is the distinctive shield shape, characteristic of the 1924 route marker. This shield has a pointed bottom with gently curved sides, creating a classic and recognizable silhouette. The background is a clean white, providing a stark contrast to the black border that frames the entire design.

Boldly centered within the shield is the number "1," rendered in a classic, clear font. This denotes the specific route represented. Beneath the number, and completing the visual identity, is the Virginia state seal. The seal includes the text “DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS”, providing a sense of historical authenticity and official recognition.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design serves as a visual emblem of Virginia’s early highway system. The year "1924" explicitly places the design within a formative period when states began numbering and marking their roads. Route 1 itself, as indicated by the numeral, was likely a significant, primary route, representing a major thoroughfare of the era.

The design, with its classic shield shape, color scheme, and incorporation of the state seal, evokes a sense of history, order, and the burgeoning era of modern transportation. It speaks to a time when travel and exploration were rapidly changing, and standardized signage was essential for navigation and progress. The design is a nostalgic nod to Virginia's automotive past, offering a glimpse into the evolution of road systems and the cultural impact of the automobile.

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.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. 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.
