Virginia 136 (1980) Road Sign Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass features a classic representation of a Virginia primary state route marker as it appeared in 1980. The design replicates the familiar visual language of Virginia's highway signage.

Design Elements

The artwork centers around the distinctive outline of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The shape, a shield with an arched top and pointed base, immediately identifies the state. The background is rendered in white, mimicking the reflective sheeting used for nighttime visibility on the original road signs.

A bold black border precisely outlines the Virginia shield, creating a defined frame for the design. At the top of the design, the word "VIRGINIA" is displayed in small, uppercase black letters, providing clear context.

The most prominent element is the large, bold numeral "136", also in black. This represents Virginia Route 136, a key connecting route in Pittsylvania County. The size and style of the numeral ensure high visibility, emulating the function of the actual road sign in guiding motorists.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design serves as a tribute to Virginia's roadways and its established system of highway markers. It visually connects the drinker to a specific route and time period. The shield shape and color scheme evoke a sense of travel, direction, and the open road. The design is a celebration of Virginia's identity and its infrastructure.

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.
