Virginia 20 1956 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Description

This shot glass features the iconic design of the 1956 Virginia Route 20 road sign, a celebrated piece of American roadside history. The design's visual elements are a direct representation of this classic signage.

Artwork & Visual Elements

The central design is a precise cut-out rendering of the state of Virginia, its shape easily recognizable with the distinctive "tail" pointing east. The state's outline serves as the main shape, and it's framed by a bold black border, a feature that was standard for this design era.

The background of the design is a clean white, mirroring the original sign's surface. Superimposed onto this field is the route designation: "VIRGINIA" arched across the top, in bold, black, block lettering. Beneath the state name, a large, centered "20" represents the road number, rendered in the same striking black typeface as the state name.

Meaning & Symbolism

The design's primary meaning is rooted in its straightforward depiction of the historical road sign. The cut-out shape, a unique and distinguishing characteristic of Virginia's signage from the mid-20th century, evokes a strong sense of place and state pride. The use of the black border emphasizes the state's boundaries and represents a historical aspect of U.S. road travel. The inclusion of the "20" clearly designates the route, while the "VIRGINIA" name further solidifies the location of that roadway. Together, these elements reflect the heritage and visual language of an era when road signs weren't just functional, but also visually distinct and memorable.

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.
