WV-43 1922 (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

A Slice of History in Every Sip

This shot glass design pays homage to the rudimentary, yet historically significant, highway markers of West Virginia in 1922. It captures the essence of early state road identification before the advent of standardized metal signs. The design is a faithful reproduction of the marker that would have directed travelers along West Virginia State Route 43 in its inaugural year.

Visual Elements: A Functional Aesthetic

The design faithfully replicates the likely appearance of a 1922 WV-43 road sign. It features the iconic horizontal layout mandated by the state's early road marking policy. Two bold, six-inch wide red bands bookend a central, twelve-inch white band.

Within the white band, the route number "43" is prominently displayed. The numerals, rendered in a dark, stenciled font, mirror the functional and unadorned aesthetic of the period. This design emphasizes clarity and legibility, reflecting the practical nature of early road signage.

Symbolism: A Tribute to Early American Roads

The design represents the beginnings of West Virginia's state-managed highway system. It evokes the spirit of exploration and early automobile travel. The absence of decorative elements further underscores the era's focus on utility and straightforward communication. The design serves as a visual reminder of a bygone era, when simple, functional signs guided travelers across the state.

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.
