Virginia 83 (1924) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a piece of Virginia's transportation history, specifically referencing the Virginia 83 road sign from the state's initial highway numbering system dating back to 1924. The design evokes the era when motoring was taking off and states began standardizing road signage to aid navigation.

Visual Elements and Symbolism

The artwork faithfully reproduces the key elements of the vintage road sign. The design prominently features the number "83" in bold, black lettering set against a clean white background. This stark contrast ensures the number's visibility and reinforces the sign's primary function: to clearly identify the route.

Beneath the number, the word "VIRGINIA" is likely displayed, possibly with additional text like "STATE HIGHWAY" or "DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS," mirroring the authentic signage of the period. This inscription firmly establishes the sign's geographic and governmental context.

The shape, reminiscent of early 20th-century design, is a defining element of the artwork. This form is a visual link to the early days of highway travel and signals the historical significance of the design. The overall aesthetic is one of simplicity and functionality, reflecting the practical needs of the period.

The design, therefore, serves as a miniature emblem of the past. It symbolizes the evolution of road travel, the beginnings of standardized highway systems, and the lasting appeal of vintage design.

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.
