Virginia 188 (1924) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design inspired by the historic 1924 Virginia Route 188 road sign. It's a visual tribute to the pioneering days of Virginia's state highway system, predating the familiar U.S. Highway markers.

Historical Representation

The artwork directly references the design conventions of the early 1920s. A white or cream-colored background serves as the canvas, evoking the look of the original porcelain enamel signs used during that era. Bold, black numerals β€œ188” are prominently displayed, mirroring the straightforward numbering system of the time.

Symbolism and Meaning

The "188" itself represents a specific primary state route from Virginia's initial numbered highway system, established in 1924. It symbolizes the dawn of standardized road markings and the efforts to improve transportation infrastructure across the state. This is a visual echo of a time when roads were being developed, and travel was becoming more accessible.

This shot glass design captures a sense of vintage Americana, a nod to a time when signs were handcrafted and individual, and when each route number represented a crucial link in a growing network of roadways. The visual elements are a direct link to the past, reminding us of the evolution of travel and how we experience the world.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
