Virginia 236 1980 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This shot glass features a classic representation of a Virginia primary highway route sign as it would have appeared in 1980. The artwork directly mirrors the official signage used to mark Virginia Route 236 during that era.

Design Elements

The design prominently displays the iconic Virginia state highway shield shape. This pointed-top, flat-bottomed form is instantly recognizable and signifies a primary state-maintained route.

A bold black outline defines the shield's perimeter, providing clear visual separation against any background. The color contrast enhances visibility and draws attention to the route designation.

At the top, the word "VIRGINIA" is elegantly presented in small, uppercase black letters, identifying the state that maintains the road.

Centered within the shield is the bold black numeral "236," indicating the specific route number. The use of a strong, easily legible font ensures immediate recognition.

The primary background color of the design is white, historically a reflective color choice to improve visibility, particularly at night. This color palette embodies the standard look of Virginia primary route signage from 1980.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design on this shot glass serves as a miniature tribute to Virginia's roadways and its highway system. The visual elements symbolize the state's infrastructure and the vital role roads like VA-236 play in connecting communities.

The "236" acts as a direct reference to Virginia Route 236, locally known as Little River Turnpike and Duke Street, and highlights its importance as a major thoroughfare and a vital commuter route.

This design encapsulates the visual identity of Virginia's primary highway system as it appeared in 1980, instantly transporting the viewer back in 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.
