Virginia 177 1924 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design inspired by the earliest days of Virginia's numbered highway system, specifically the 1924 design for Route 177. The artwork is a faithful reproduction of the original road sign, a piece of Americana that evokes a sense of history and the open road.

Visual Elements

The design centers around a clean and simple aesthetic. The dominant shape is a white circle, the backdrop upon which the other elements are placed. Arching across the top in bold, black block letters is the word "VIRGINIA", proudly proclaiming the state of origin. The route number, "177", is prominently displayed in the center of the circle, also in large, black numerals. This bold numeral is the focal point, identifying the specific route.

A thick black circular border encircles the entire design, providing definition and framing the elements within. This border gives the design a classic, timeless feel, echoing the simple and effective design principles of the era.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design itself is a miniature representation of a historical artifact: a road sign. It's a symbol of navigation, journey, and the open road. The inclusion of "VIRGINIA" grounds the design in a specific place, invoking state pride and a sense of belonging. Route 177 signifies a specific path, a journey, and an experience connected to the early days of Virginia's highway system.

The design, with its simple and direct approach, is a clear reminder of a bygone era, evoking the spirit of exploration and the pioneering spirit of early automobile travel.

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.
