Virginia 177 1980 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a miniature replica of the iconic 1980 Virginia Route 177 road sign. The design pays homage to Virginia's distinctive highway markers, a design choice unique among US states.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element is the outline of the state of Virginia, rendered in white. This shape immediately signifies the state's identity and location. A thin black border cleanly defines the state's shape, providing a crisp, modern feel.

At the top, the word "VIRGINIA" is displayed in small, black capital letters, echoing the road sign's design. Centered within the state outline are the bold, black numerals "177", representing the route number itself. The use of FHWA-standard numerals ensures clear legibility.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design of the shot glass is a direct reference to Virginia's transportation history. It symbolizes the state's commitment to its infrastructure and recognizes the importance of its roadways. The use of the 1980 design specifically links the glass to a period of modernization and standardization within the state's highway system.

The shield shape inherently represents protection and a sense of place. The white background and black accents, evocative of road signs, evoke the American road trip and sense of direction.

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.
