Virginia 198 1980 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design faithfully recreates the Virginia Route 198 road sign as it appeared in 1980. The artwork pays homage to the distinctive visual language of Virginia's primary state highway system.

Design Elements

The design features the classic Virginia state highway shield shape: a white background framed by a bold black outline. Centered within the shield is the route number “198” rendered in a large, bold, black font. Above the numerals, the word “VIRGINIA” is printed in a smaller, uppercase black font, anchoring the design and clearly identifying the state.

Meaning and Symbolism

The artwork directly symbolizes Virginia Route 198, a vital transportation artery on Virginia's Middle Peninsula. The design evokes the road’s historical context in 1980, when this route provided a key connection for Mathews County. The shield represents state-maintained roadways and the network of routes that knit the Commonwealth together.

The design encapsulates a sense of place and local pride, celebrating the iconic visual identity of Virginia's road signs and the history of transportation in the region. The colors and typography are instantly recognizable, evoking a sense of clarity and purpose that is characteristic of the roadways themselves.

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.
