Virginia 177 1956 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Description

This shot glass features the iconic design of the 1956 Virginia Route 177 road sign, a celebrated piece of mid-20th-century Virginia history.

Artwork Details

The artwork faithfully recreates the distinctive look of the original sign. The central element is the outline of the Commonwealth of Virginia, meticulously rendered in the state's familiar shape. This state shape acts as the "shield," visually representing the protection and guidance provided by the road system.

The shield is filled with a bright white background, symbolizing clarity and the open road. A thick, bold black border precisely outlines the state's irregular contours, giving a strong visual definition and presence to the design.

At the top of the design, the word "VIRGINIA" is displayed in small, uppercase black letters. This element confirms the geographical context and identifies the authority behind the road signage.

The route number, "177," is prominently displayed in large, bold black numerals. Centered within the Virginia outline, this number serves as the primary identifier, guiding travelers and designating a specific route within the state's road network.

Symbolism

The design, as a whole, embodies the spirit of early interstate travel in Virginia. The state-shaped shield is a symbol of Virginian identity and pride. Route 177 itself represents a specific path, a journey, and a connection between locations within the Commonwealth. The design evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler era of driving, when road signs were functional and emblematic of local character.

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.
