Virginia 187 (1980) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design that evokes the spirit of Virginia's roadways in the year 1980. The artwork directly replicates the iconic state route marker of the era: the Virginia 187 highway shield.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element of the design is a white shield, carefully shaped with the distinctive pointed top characteristic of Virginia's route markers from the 1970s onwards. A thick, black border cleanly outlines the shield, providing a strong visual frame.

The black numerals “187” are prominently displayed at the center of the shield. The font choice and numeral placement are consistent with the signage style used during that period, creating a sense of authentic vintage appeal. There are no distracting elements like the words "STATE" or "ROUTE"; the design emphasizes clarity and simplicity.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents Virginia State Route 187, a primary state highway. The visual symbolism is clear: it’s a direct reference to the road itself, a piece of Virginia’s transportation history. The shield shape and numeral style provide a window into the historical context of Virginia road design and the standardization efforts of the time.

This shot glass design celebrates the history of Virginia's highways and the visual language used to identify them.

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.
