Virginia 145 1980 Shot Glass Design

A Snapshot of the Road

This shot glass design captures the essence of a 1980 Virginia Route 145 road sign. It's a miniature, visual homage to a specific moment in time and the standardized approach to road signage that emerged in the late 20th century.

Simple, Functional, and Unified

The design echoes the 1980s shift towards simplicity and clarity in road signage. The square shape, the clean white background, and the stark black border all reflect the era's focus on standardized readability, driven by federal guidelines. The design has an undeniable practicality, prioritizing ease of recognition for motorists.

The Elements of the Sign

The artwork replicates the key elements of the sign. At the top, the state name "VIRGINIA" is printed in a straightforward black uppercase font, representing state authority. Beneath, the bold, black number "145" is prominently displayed, signifying the specific route number. The combination offers a direct, uncluttered visual cue. It represents the specific, and the general, by containing both the state and the road.

A Modern Emblem

The design, although straightforward, signifies a transition. It's a modern emblem of a bygone era, before digital displays. The use of the square format and the standard color scheme signifies the adoption of a unified system for road signs.

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.
