WA-SSH1-V (Washington) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces a vintage Washington highway marker: a black profile silhouette of George Washington's head set against white, with the numeral 1, a letter V and the word WASHINGTON.

Visual Elements & Composition

The layout is flat and graphic. A vertical rounded rectangle frames the sign, and a double-line border runs around its edge. Black fills roughly three-fifths of the field and white the rest, so the profile reads at a glance, with the head turned to the side inside the frame. The numeral 1, the letter V and the WASHINGTON lettering are the only text. There is no shading or gradient; the piece relies on contrast and clean outlines.

Meaning & Symbolism

The sign marked Secondary State Highway 1V, a route in Washington's pre-1964 highway system. It branched from Primary State Highway 1 and ran from Tacoma through Browns Point and Dash Point toward Des Moines. In 1964 the state retired its old primary and secondary designations for the State Route system, and this road became State Route 509. The George Washington profile was a common motif on older Washington shields. It tied each route to the namesake of the Evergreen State and gave the roads a civic identity that plain markers lacked. Today the design works as transportation history rather than active navigation, and it appeals to map readers, local historians and collectors of vintage Americana.

On the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, often at eye level just before the drink goes back. The high-contrast silhouette suits that short view, so the sign reads clearly across the curve of the glass rather than blending into it. Pour a round and you get a small piece of a road that no longer appears on the map.

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.
