Virginia 136 1956 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Overview

A Slice of Mid-Century Virginia Road History

This shot glass design celebrates the classic road sign of Virginia Route 136 as it appeared in 1956. The artwork is a faithful recreation of the original sign, transporting you back to a time of simpler highway aesthetics.

The Iconic Shield

The central element is the instantly recognizable Virginia state shield. This design features the pointed-top, arched-top, flat-bottomed shape, emblematic of Virginia's highway system. The shape itself is a nod to the state's heritage, representing a protective and guiding presence for travelers.

Color and Contrast

The design utilizes a classic high-contrast palette. The background is rendered in white, mimicking the non-reflective painted steel or porcelain enamel used on the original signs. A bold black outline firmly defines the state shield, providing a strong visual border. The text elements also adhere to this contrast, with the route designation "136" and the "VIRGINIA" text boldly rendered in black, ensuring legibility and drawing the eye.

Text and Placement

The word "VIRGINIA" is elegantly centered at the top of the shield, serving as a clear identifier. Below, the large, bold numerals "136" clearly state the route number. The placement and style of the text replicates the original sign's appearance, reinforcing its purpose of providing quick and unambiguous information to motorists.

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.
