WV-30 1922 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design evokes the spirit of early 20th-century West Virginia roadways. It’s a faithful representation of the WV-30 route marker as it would have appeared in 1922, a time when highway signage was a far cry from the standardized metal shields of today.

The Design Elements

The design faithfully replicates the method of pole-marking used in West Virginia's original 1922 highway system. The core of the design is a series of horizontal bands. Two bold red bands, each six inches wide, encircle a central white strip of twelve inches. These bands symbolize the state's roadways and the adventurous spirit of travel.

The central white strip is emblazoned with the route number "30" in stark, six-inch-high numerals. This number, stenciled in a clear, legible font, is the most crucial element in understanding the design's meaning. It's not just a number; it's a marker pointing to a specific road, a specific destination, and a slice of West Virginia history.

Meaning and Symbolism

The WV-30 (1922) design transcends its utilitarian purpose. It becomes a symbol of the past, a visual reminder of the evolution of road travel. This particular design focuses on the short connector roads. These were critical in the expansion of transportation networks that allowed people to travel from place to place.

This road sign on a shot glass celebrates a simple but significant aspect of early West Virginia highway design. The red and white bands are a nod to practicality and efficiency. The entire design allows this simple design to stand as a visual testament to West Virginia’s road-building legacy.

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.
