Virginia 180 (1924) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic piece of Virginia history, a faithful reproduction of the 1924 Virginia Route 180 road sign. The design embodies the pioneering spirit of early automobile travel and the establishment of Virginia's primary highway system. It's a visual homage to a time when road signs were simple, functional, and instantly recognizable.

The Road Sign Imagery

The central element is a white shield, rendered with a clean and bold aesthetic. This form echoes the U.S. Highway shield but showcases a more simplified, squared silhouette representative of the early era. A thick, black border defines the shield, providing a strong visual edge and enhancing the sign's legibility.

Above the route number, "VIRGINIA" is arc-ed in small, classic black lettering. Below, the numerals "180" are prominently displayed in large, bold, black block numerals, the focal point. The simplicity of the design reflects the straightforward approach to navigation and information dissemination common during that period.

Symbolism

The design symbolizes the establishment of organized road systems and the beginning of automobile tourism in the state. The boldness of the sign is a reminder of a bygone era when motorists relied on basic directions and easily identifiable markers to traverse the state. The sign’s presence represents freedom, exploration, and the ever-growing accessibility of the Commonwealth.

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.
