Virginia 178 1924 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A Slice of Road-Sign History

This shot glass captures the essence of Virginia’s pioneering highway signage. The design is a direct homage to the original 1924 Route 178 sign, a landmark in the early days of state-numbered highways.

A State of Design

The artwork centers around the distinctive outline of the Commonwealth of Virginia. This state-shaped design was revolutionary for its time, immediately identifying the location and purpose of the sign.

Bold Simplicity

The color palette is stark and bold, mirroring the original sign's appearance. A clean white backdrop, the color of a blank canvas for the road ahead, is edged with a thin black border mirroring the original painted metal sign. Bold, black block numerals – the route number "178" – take center stage, serving as a clear and concise identifier. Above, the name "VIRGINIA" in a simple black font solidifies the origin of this historical marker.

Echoes of a Bygone Era

The design speaks of a time when standardization was just beginning, and simplicity reigned. It's a visual reminder of Virginia's role in establishing the earliest forms of numbered road networks.

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.
