WV-51 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass: Design Description

This shot glass design evokes the spirit of historical road signage, presenting a visual concept that, while technically incorrect in its literal interpretation, creates a compelling design narrative.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element of the design is a stylized representation of a road sign, boldly displaying "WV-51". The "WV" prefix, while designating West Virginia, is used here for its visual familiarity and recognizability. The "51" is rendered in a clean, legible font, reflecting the functional aesthetics of early 20th-century road markers.

The design may also incorporate visual cues from historical signage, such as the use of colors, patterns, and fonts popular in the 1920s. For example, the design may use a rectangular shape with a border to add a touch of historical accuracy.

Meaning and Symbolism

The primary meaning conveyed is a playful nod to a historical road marker, specifically the West Virginia State Route 51. The design captures the spirit of exploration and discovery associated with early automobile travel, evoking nostalgia for the open road and the freedom of movement.

The use of the familiar road sign iconography also suggests a sense of direction, destination, and the journey itself. The design acts as a conversation starter, inviting curiosity about West Virginia's roads and their history, especially since the sign itself could have never existed.

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.
