WV-23 1922 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design captures the essence of early 20th-century American highway history, specifically the fascinating divergence in road signage during the year 1922. The artwork cleverly juxtaposes two distinct visual elements, representing the independent state route systems that predated the U.S. Highway System.

West Virginia's Legacy

The design features a faithful representation of the 1922 West Virginia Route 23 road sign. This rectangular sign, rendered in a classic style, displays the straightforward text "W VA" above the number "23" and "STATE ROAD" below. The use of black lettering against a white background echoes the practical, utilitarian approach to early road marking. This segment of the design symbolizes the importance of early state roads and their role in connecting communities.

Virginia's Circle

To the right of the West Virginia representation, the design includes a visual of the 1922 Virginia Route 23 road sign. This element mirrors the round, porcelain-enameled steel signs used in Virginia at the time, featuring the word "VIRGINIA" above a large black "23". This sign signifies Virginia's progressive, standardized approach to route marking, making it easily recognizable to travelers. Both signs on the glass convey the historical significance of pre-U.S. highway systems and their impact on early road travel in America.

A Meeting of History

The pairing of the two signs tells the story of how different states used different symbols to mark their routes, reflecting the complex evolution of the U.S. road network before the introduction of a national system. The artwork functions as a small historical portrait of road design at a significant moment in the nation's past. The artwork celebrates a bygone era, recalling the distinct identities of state roads.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
