Virginia 2 (1918) Road Sign Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a piece of Virginia's early highway history: a reproduction of the 1918 State Route 2 road sign. The design evokes the era when the state began numbering and standardizing its roadways, a crucial step in the development of modern travel infrastructure.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The artwork replicates the distinctive shape of the 1918 Virginia road markers. Dominating the design is the number "2," prominently displayed at the top, signifying the specific route it once designated.

The centerpiece of the sign is the Virginia state seal. The inclusion of the state seal, or a figure representing it, within the circular emblem below the number, connects the sign to the state's identity and governance. It represents Virginia's authority in establishing and maintaining its roads.

Completing the design is the text "STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION," placed below the seal. This inscription explicitly identifies the agency responsible for the highways and the signage, providing crucial information for travelers and solidifying the marker's function.

Historical Significance

The design, with its blend of numbers, official seal, and governmental text, carries a historical narrative. It stands as a visual link to the early 20th century, reminding us of the evolution of transportation and the standardization of road markings that continues to shape our experience of travel today.

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.
