Virginia 199 1980 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

Design Overview

This shot glass features the iconic design of a Virginia primary state route sign as it would have appeared in 1980. The design is a faithful representation of the highway markers used at that time, capturing a specific moment in Virginia's transportation history.

Visual Elements and Symbolism

The artwork centers around the distinctive shape of the Virginia state highway shield, a pointed-top, flat-bottomed emblem instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with the state's roadways. This shape itself is symbolic, representing the state and the network of roads that connect its communities.

The design utilizes a clean, high-contrast palette. A bold black outline defines the shield, providing a strong visual border. Within the shield, the background is white, designed to mimic the reflective surfaces of real road signs. This use of white emphasizes the road sign's purpose: to stand out and provide clear information.

At the top of the design, the word "VIRGINIA" is rendered in small, uppercase letters. Beneath this, the prominent number "199" in bold, uppercase numerals dominates the center of the design. This number signifies Virginia Route 199, a specific primary highway. The presence of โ€œ199โ€ anchors the design and grounds it in a specific location.

The design evokes a sense of travel, history, and the infrastructure that enables it. The artwork speaks to a time before the full loop around Williamsburg was completed. Itโ€™s a visual representation of the early days of a crucial artery, a reminder of the roads that link past to present.

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.
