WV-3 1922 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design evokes the spirit of early road travel in West Virginia. The artwork replicates a hypothetical WV 3 state road sign as it might have appeared in 1922, reflecting the nascent highway system of the era.

Visual Elements

The design features a simple, bold numeral "3" representing State Route 3 in West Virginia, created using a classic, unembellished typeface typical of the period. This central number is the focal point, immediately conveying the road's designation.

The design includes the abbreviation "W.Va." indicating the state, likely positioned above or below the number "3". This element provides critical context, identifying the sign's origin and jurisdiction.

The artwork assumes the style of the sign, suggesting it would likely have been mounted on a post or telephone pole. No elaborate borders or shields are present, reflecting the basic, functional aesthetic of early road signage. The design embraces a plain rectangular shape, reminiscent of signs painted on simple boards or metal plates.

Meaning and Symbolism

The WV-3 1922 design symbolizes the dawn of the automobile age and the development of organized road systems. It represents a piece of West Virginia's transportation history, conjuring images of simpler times, cross-country journeys, and the thrill of exploration.

By replicating the likely appearance of a sign from 1922, the design provides a tangible connection to the past, reminding us of how far transportation technology has come. The simple aesthetic reflects a bygone era when functionality and clarity were paramount in the design of road markers, offering an appealing throwback for those with a fondness for history and vintage style.

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.
