Virginia 170 1956 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Description

A Nostalgic Tribute to Virginia's Roads

This shot glass design captures the essence of a bygone era in Virginia's highway history. The artwork boldly showcases the 1956 iteration of the Virginia Route 170 road sign, a design steeped in state pride and a reflection of the mid-20th century aesthetic.

Iconic Shape and Color Scheme

The design faithfully replicates the sign's defining features. The iconic shape of the Commonwealth of Virginia itself forms the backdrop, instantly recognizable and a powerful symbol of state identity. The color scheme is simple yet striking: crisp white, symbolizing cleanliness and clarity, contrasts with bold black. This combination ensures high visibility and readability, reflecting the sign's primary function.

Text and Symbolism

Across the top of the Virginia cutout, the word "VIRGINIA" is prominently displayed, reinforcing the state connection. Beneath, the route number "170" stands out in a bold, assertive font. The bold numerals represent the specific route, conveying information in a clear and direct manner, characteristic of road signage. The overall design tells a story of travel, navigation, and the historic road network of Virginia, particularly in the Hampton Roads area.

A Design Frozen in Time

This design serves as a visual portal to 1956, evoking the era when Virginia's highways were marked by these distinctive signs. It’s a testament to a time before modern standardization, when state pride was literally etched into the landscape.

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.
