Virginia 176 1924 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This design celebrates a piece of Virginia's transportation history, specifically the inaugural state route signage introduced in 1924. The artwork meticulously replicates the original Virginia Route 176 road sign, capturing its simple yet striking visual impact.

A Tribute to Early Roadways

The design features a stark black-and-white color scheme, mirroring the high-contrast aesthetic of the 1924 sign. A thick black circular border frames the entire composition, providing a clean edge to the design.

Classic Road Sign Elements

Arched across the top, in bold, black block lettering, is the word "VIRGINIA", a clear declaration of the route's location and authority. At the heart of the design, the route number "176" is prominently displayed in large, black numerals, serving as the central identifying marker of the highway. This visual simplicity reflects the practical nature of early road signage, focused on clear and immediate identification.

Symbolism

The design symbolizes the dawn of modern roadways and the state's efforts to organize and identify its growing highway system. It represents a piece of Americana, a visual shorthand for travel and exploration within the Commonwealth during the early 20th century. The bold design and the stark color contrast further emphasize clarity and recognition, essentials for safe navigation during that era.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
