Virginia 152 1956 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic representation of the 1956 Virginia Route 152 road sign, a distinctive piece of American highway history. The design is a miniature recreation of the iconic marker that once guided motorists across the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Artwork Details

The primary element of the design is the shape of the state of Virginia itself, rendered in its familiar outline. This silhouette serves as the central focal point, immediately identifying the origin of the route.

Within the white expanse of the Virginia outline, the route number "152" is prominently displayed in bold black numerals. This positioning, typically centered in the eastern portion of the state’s outline, reflects the design of the original signs, where the narrow western panhandle wouldn't have been suitable for the number's placement.

The white interior is framed by a bold black border that traces the shape of the state’s outline. This contrasting border enhances the visual prominence of the shape and the overall design.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design pays homage to the unique and recognizable highway markers used by Virginia from 1928 to the 1970s. The Virginia state outline, chosen by the state as its official highway marker by 1933, stands as a symbol of Virginian identity and history.

The number "152" specifically points to a former transportation network, and represents a specific journey through Virginia.

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.
