Virginia 162 1980 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Overview

This shot glass design replicates the iconic road sign for Virginia State Route 162, as it appeared in 1980. The primary visual element is the distinctive shield shape, a hallmark of Virginia's primary state highway signage from that era.

Visual Elements and Symbolism

The central element is the bold number "162" rendered in a classic, clear typeface. This number directly represents Virginia State Route 162, a designated primary state highway. The design accurately reflects the signage standards of the time, adhering to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) guidelines as supplemented by the Virginia Department of Transportation.

The design serves as a visual reminder of the road's significance, and acts as a marker or reference point for travelers. It evokes a sense of place and represents the infrastructure and public works of Virginia's highway system. The design is a faithful representation of the original sign, giving the product a sense of history.

The color palette and typeface are indicative of the highway signage of the time. The clean lines and bold numerals are intended to quickly communicate the road's identity to motorists, making it easily recognizable.

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.
