Virginia 145 1956 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

Iconic Roadside Representation

This shot glass features a classic piece of mid-century Americana: the 1956 Virginia Route 145 road sign. The design captures the essence of Virginia’s distinctive approach to road signage, specifically the state-outline marker that set it apart.

A State in Silhouette

The central element of the design is a white shield meticulously shaped like the outline of the state of Virginia, complete with its characteristic irregular eastern coastline. This shape is immediately recognizable, representing the Commonwealth of Virginia itself and serving as a bold statement of location and identity.

Bold Typography

Across the top of the shield, the word “VIRGINIA” is displayed in bold, black block letters, mirroring the original sign's typography. Beneath, and centered within the state's silhouette, are the black numerals "145," denoting the specific route number. This clear and legible arrangement, characteristic of effective signage, ensures the route is easily identifiable.

Color and Contrast

The design utilizes a stark black-on-white color scheme, a standard for road signs of the era. This high-contrast pairing ensures maximum legibility and visual impact, allowing the key information to stand out prominently. The thin black outline that subtly traces the state’s perimeter further enhances this crisp aesthetic.

Historical Significance

This design is more than just a visual representation; it's a nod to a specific era of American road travel. The sign's design speaks of simpler times, before the interstate system, when travel was often a direct experience through the unique landscapes and identities of individual states.

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.
