Virginia 118 (1924) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a compelling piece of Virginia's transportation history, specifically the design of the original Virginia Route 118 road sign from 1924. The artwork presents a window into an era when Virginia first began numbering its state highways to aid motorists in navigating the expanding road network.

Historic Route Shield

The primary design element is a faithful representation of the "Virginia 118" route marker. The bold "118" numeral is prominently displayed within a shield shape, a common design of the era. Above the number, the word "VIRGINIA" might be present, or implied by the context, further identifying the state to which the route belonged. This simplicity reflects the straightforward nature of early highway signage, prioritizing clarity and ease of recognition.

Color Palette and Symbolism

The design adheres to the classic black-on-white color scheme characteristic of the 1924 era. This stark contrast ensured maximum visibility and legibility, key considerations for road signage designed to be quickly understood by drivers. This color palette embodies a sense of heritage and nostalgia.

Visual Representation of History

More than just a number, this design symbolizes the birth of organized route designation in Virginia and the evolution of the state's transportation infrastructure. It is a visual nod to the early days of automobile travel, a time when numbered routes were a new and exciting development for motorists exploring the state.

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.
