WV-49 1922 (Virginia) Shot Glass - Design Overview

Visual Representation

The design of this shot glass is a nod to the historical context of early West Virginia highway markers. The artwork aims to capture the essence of a 1922 "WV-49" sign. The primary element will feature bold, simple lettering in a classic font style. The letters "W VA 49" are arranged across the design. The placement of the text is intended to mimic the way these routes were initially marked - simply and clearly.

Color Palette and Symbolism

The color scheme is designed to evoke the era. Expect the colors to be neutral and muted. The base color will be a cream or off-white, as this was common for painted signage. The text colors would be in a dark color like black to increase contrast and visibility. The color choices are symbolic of the rustic and utilitarian nature of early road signs.

Artistic Style

The overall style leans towards the minimalist, reflecting the pragmatic approach to highway signage in the early 1920s. The design emphasizes clarity and directness. The layout mimics the style of hand-painted signs. The goal of the design is to transport the viewer back in time.

"Virginia" Context

The design includes a subtle notation to acknowledge the lack of a "Virginia" connection in 1922. The "Virginia" would be crossed-out or slightly de-emphasized to demonstrate the road's true West Virginia origin, adding a layer of historical accuracy.

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.
