Virginia 228 1980 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This shot glass features a design inspired by the classic Virginia Route 228 road sign as it appeared in 1980.

Design Elements

The artwork replicates the iconic look of a Virginia primary state highway shield. A bold black outline defines the distinctive shape, a flat bottom, squared shoulders, and pointed top, symbolizing the official roadways of the Commonwealth.

At the top, the word "VIRGINIA" is rendered in small, uppercase black letters, identifying the state that the route belongs to. Centered below, the large black numerals "228" boldly mark the specific route number. The primary focus of the design, the number “228,” indicates this road's position within the state's primary highway system (routes 1-599).

The background of the design is white, recalling the reflective sheeting used on highway signs of the era. This color choice, combined with the black lettering and border, ensures clarity and easy readability, mirroring the essential function of a road sign to convey important information at a glance.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents the official signage used to mark Virginia Route 228 in 1980. The shield symbolizes the state's infrastructure and the historical aesthetic of Virginia's roadways, specifically connecting to the areas of Herndon and Dranesville, in Fairfax County, at that time.

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.
