Virginia 181 1924 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic design inspired by the 1924 Virginia Route 181 road sign, a testament to the early days of standardized highway markings in the Commonwealth. The design evokes a sense of history and the spirit of early automobile travel.

Design Elements

The primary visual elements mirror the original sign’s straightforward aesthetic. At the top, the word "VIRGINIA" is boldly displayed in a block letter font, presented in black against the crisp white background, just as on the original sign. This placement immediately identifies the state the route is located within.

The focal point of the design is the route number "181," rendered in a large, centered, black font. This bold designation instantly communicates the specific route, allowing for easy identification. The number’s positioning anchors the design and draws the eye.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design, with its simple black-on-white palette, embodies the clarity and directness of early road signage. It represents a bygone era of highway travel, before the complex designs and regional variations of later years. The vertical rectangular format mirrors the original sign's tall, slender profile. The design celebrates the beginnings of the modern highway system in Virginia.

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.
