WV-51 1922 (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to the early days of West Virginia's highway system, specifically Route 51 as it existed in 1922. The artwork captures the essence of a bygone era in road signage.

The Pole Marker

The central design element recreates the original WV-51 route markers. The artwork depicts the distinctive pole marker design: two bold red bands, each six inches wide, encasing a twelve-inch wide white band. Centered within the white band, the number "51" is stenciled in a classic font, its six-inch height reflecting the historical specifications.

A Nod to History

The design's use of a pole marker, rather than a modern shield, immediately signifies the historical context. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when road signage was simpler and more utilitarian, directly tied to the infrastructure of the era. The color palette—red and white—is a bold, eye-catching combination. This visual would have been meant to quickly identify the route.

Symbolism

The shot glass design is more than just a historical replica. It represents the origins of West Virginia's road network, the development of infrastructure, and a connection to the state's past. The artwork acts as a visual time capsule.

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.
