Virginia 146 1956 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic piece of mid-20th-century Virginia history, captured in its iconic road sign design. The artwork faithfully recreates the Virginia Route 146 sign as it would have appeared in 1956, a symbol of the state's roadways and its unique visual identity.

Design Elements

The design centers around the distinctive outline of the state of Virginia, a shape that immediately identifies the origin of this historical marker. Across the top, the word "VIRGINIA" is prominently displayed, echoing the signage of the era. Below, the route number "146" is boldly rendered in a simple, readable black font.

Color and Symbolism

The color scheme is clean and timeless: black lettering and border set against a stark white background. This high-contrast combination ensures legibility and a striking visual impact. The sign itself represents a bygone era of American travel and the specific history of transportation in Virginia.

Historical Significance

This design celebrates a piece of Virginia's heritage, evoking nostalgia for the mid-20th-century road travel experience. This design showcases the style Virginia used for its road signs from 1928 until the late 1960s-early 1970s, which is a key part of the design.

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.
