Virginia 285 (1980) Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass features a classic piece of Virginia road signage from 1980: the route marker for Virginia State Route 285. The design is a faithful reproduction of the sign that would have guided drivers along this primary highway in Augusta County.

Symbol of the Commonwealth

The design centers on the distinctive Virginia state highway shield, a shape instantly recognizable to those familiar with the state's roadways. The shield's flat bottom, squared shoulders, and pointed top reflect the Commonwealth's dedication to its transportation infrastructure.

Color and Text

The artwork utilizes the standard color scheme of the era: a crisp white background with a bold black border and lettering. The word "VIRGINIA" is present in a small, upper-case font across the top, marking the state's authority. Beneath, the route number "285" is prominently displayed in large, bold black numerals. These digits immediately inform the viewer of the specific road.

Nostalgia and Function

The complete design is a visual representation of how travelers would have been directed along Virginia's roads decades ago. It acts as a nostalgic touchstone and celebrates the enduring aesthetics of state highway signage, paying homage to the network that connects communities across the Commonwealth.

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.
