Virginia 170 1924 (Virginia) Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass features a design that evokes the historic charm of Virginia's first numbered highway system, dating back to 1924. The artwork centers around a faithful reproduction of the original road sign for Virginia Route 170.

Sign Representation

The design faithfully replicates the iconic shape of the state of Virginia itself, a defining characteristic of the 1924 highway signs. This outline immediately identifies the geographical context of the route, rooting the design in a specific place.

Color and Text Elements

The color scheme adheres to the original design specifications: a classic contrast of black lettering on a white background. At the top, the word "VIRGINIA" is prominently displayed, confirming the state's presence, while the bold numerals "170" are centered beneath. These elements directly represent the specific route designation.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a significant moment in Virginia's transportation history. It symbolizes the modernization and standardization of roadways during the early 20th century. The road sign itself acts as a marker of navigation and progress, connecting communities within the Hampton Roads area and beyond. The design evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler era of travel and the evolution of the American road trip.

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.
