Virginia 169 1924 (Virginia) Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass captures the essence of Virginia's early highway history, specifically the design of the 1924 Virginia Route 169 road sign. The artwork is a direct replication of this historic marker, a visual testament to the origins of Virginia's numbered highway system.

The Shield and Its Legacy

At the core of the design is the shield shape. This form, a white cut-out with a bold black border, was heavily influenced by early national road sign designs. It was a visual language meant to be immediately recognizable and signal the authority of the state's highways.

Route Number and Identification

The prominent black numerals "169" are the focal point, denoting the specific route. This number is not just a digit; it represents a connection. VA-169, in 1924, linked Buckroe Beach and Fox Hill to U.S. 258. Above the number, the word "VIRGINIA" reinforces the state's ownership and jurisdiction over the highway.

Historical Significance

The design represents a significant moment in Virginia's transportation history. It's a tribute to the era when the state first began to formally identify and organize its roads, a critical step in modernizing the infrastructure and connecting communities.

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.
