Virginia 17 1956 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features the iconic road sign design of Virginia Route 17 as it appeared in 1956. The artwork is a faithful reproduction of the official highway marker, instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with Virginia's rich history of road signage.

Artwork Details

The design centers on the distinctive shape of the Commonwealth of Virginia itself, cut out in a shield silhouette. This form, unique to Virginia, symbolizes state pride and a strong sense of place, reflecting the importance of the route within the state's boundaries.

The background of the shield is rendered in a classic white, providing a clean and easily visible canvas for the design elements. A bold, black outline precisely follows the perimeter of Virginia, further emphasizing the state's shape. Within this frame, the route information is clearly displayed.

Visual Elements and Meaning

At the top of the design, the word "VIRGINIA" is elegantly presented in small, black block capitals, signifying the state's name and ownership of the route. Below, and prominently centered, is the number "17" in bold black numerals. This numeral indicates the specific highway and represents an important part of the Virginian infrastructure.

The entire design evokes a sense of mid-century Americana and a bygone era of straightforward, utilitarian design, coupled with a deep connection to a particular place. This shot glass's visual cues are a nostalgic nod to Virginia's past and to the roadways that connect its 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.
