Virginia 182 1980 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design

This shot glass features the iconic design of the 1980 Virginia Route 182 road sign, a familiar sight for anyone who traveled the Commonwealth's highways during that era.

The Design

The artwork replicates the sign's classic visual identity. At its heart is a black square, representing the backing of the road sign itself. Centered within this square is a white circle, the distinguishing feature of a Virginia primary route marker.

Bold, black numerals "182" are prominently displayed within the white circle, rendered in the federally standardized Highway Gothic typeface. This is a direct echo of the actual sign, designed to ensure clear visibility for drivers, even at speed.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design serves as an instant visual shorthand, communicating the specific road and the era in which the sign was used. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time, when road signs were functional and the Highway Gothic font was a standard feature of the American landscape.

The stark contrast of the black square, white circle, and black numerals creates a striking graphic, instantly recognizable as a piece of Virginia's transportation history. The design represents a commitment to clear and concise communication on the road, while symbolizing the state's roadways and the journey itself.

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.
