Virginia 181 1956 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A Classic Route, A Timeless Design

This shot glass captures the essence of a bygone era in Virginia road travel, specifically the iconic design of the 1956 Virginia Route 181 road sign. The design pays homage to the state's adoption of the now-classic circular state highway marker, a format that became synonymous with Virginia roadways for generations.

Visual Elements of Nostalgia

The artwork directly mirrors the original sign's elements. The design prominently features a white circular background, edged with a bold black border. Across the top, the inscription "VIRGINIA" is rendered in a clean, legible uppercase font, a subtle nod to the state's name.

The focal point of the design is the route number itself, "181". Bold, black numerals are centered within the circle, presenting the route's designation with clear visibility. This central placement reinforces the importance of the route, reflecting its role in navigating the state.

Symbolism of Route and Place

This design is an emblem of Virginia's highway system. This signifies a connection to place and a sense of history. The clean, simple design of the sign represents the efficiency and clarity expected in navigation. The 1956 iteration serves as a reminder of the evolving landscape of travel in the mid-20th century.

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.
