Virginia 11 1918 (Virginia) Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass features a design that evokes the early days of Virginia's highway system. The artwork is a direct homage to the original Virginia Route 11 road signs, as they would have appeared around 1918.

Visual Representation

The central element of the design is the bold, black number "11." This numeral is rendered in a classic, utilitarian font, reflecting the simplicity of the original markers. The "11" is placed directly on a clean, white background, mirroring the common color scheme of the era. The absence of any ornate framing or shields is deliberate, emphasizing the functional and unadorned nature of the historic signs.

Historical Context and Symbolism

The design's significance lies in its connection to Virginia's transportation history. It symbolizes the pioneering spirit of early road development and the transition from rudimentary pathways to a state-organized highway system. The simplicity of the design also subtly speaks to a time when travel was less about speed and more about the journey itself. It represents an era before the standardization of the U.S. Route shield system, placing it firmly in the early 20th century. The inclusion of the route number "11" specifically references a key artery that has been connecting communities throughout Virginia for over a century.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
