WV-50 1922 (Virginia) Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass features a design that pays homage to the history of West Virginia Route 50. The artwork deliberately evokes the early days of highway signage in the Mountain State.

The Design Elements

The primary visual is a rectangular marker, reminiscent of the simple, text-based signage used by West Virginia in 1922. The text reads "W VA 50", a direct reference to the original route designation. The use of a simple, clean font mirrors the style commonly employed in early road markings. No shield or state outline is included, staying true to the era's design principles. The "Virginia" in the product name serves as a reminder that this route later extended into Virginia under a different designation.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design represents a journey back in time, reflecting West Virginia's early embrace of numbered highways. It is a visual nod to the genesis of U.S. Route 50, a road with a rich and storied past. The stark simplicity of the design reflects the functional nature of early signage, emphasizing clarity and ease of identification. This design celebrates the start of Route 50 in West Virginia and its significance in highway history.

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.
