Virginia 171 - 1924 (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design celebrates the earliest days of Virginia's highway system, transporting you back to 1924. The artwork centers around the visual identity of the state's first standardized route markers, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a simpler era of travel and exploration.

A Classic Representation

The design faithfully recreates the iconic 1924 Virginia Route 171 road sign. The shape itself is the first element of its significance: a cutout in the precise outline of the Commonwealth of Virginia. This shape is a symbol of state pride, declaring the route's location with immediate recognition.

Color and Text: A Simple Declaration

Against a white backdrop, the text is reproduced in solid black, a common design choice of the era. Centered prominently within the Virginia outline is the numeral "171" in a bold, block-letter font. Above or below the route number, in smaller capital letters, appears the word "VIRGINIA," completing the sign's simple, declarative message.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design is more than just a depiction of a sign; it's a window into the past. It symbolizes the birth of modern road travel in Virginia, the dawn of a system designed to connect communities and facilitate movement across the state. The choice of the Virginia outline itself is a powerful visual statement: a sign of place, identity, and the beginning of a journey.

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.
