WV-78 1922 (Virginia) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features the design of a historically significant road sign: WV-78 from 1922. The design represents a piece of West Virginia's transportation history, specifically referencing the state's very first numbered highway system that began in 1922.

Visual Elements and Symbolism

The artwork likely replicates the original route marker design used in West Virginia during the 1920s. This early style is characterized by its simplicity and functionality. Instead of the modern highway shields, the design would have likely resembled the original markers which were painted bands on telephone or telegraph poles: two red bands separated by a white band with the route number, "78," stenciled prominently within the white space. The number itself signifies the designated route, guiding travelers along West Virginia's early highways.

The design’s symbolism relates to historical accuracy and a reverence for a bygone era of highway travel. It is a visual representation of the evolution of road signage and the humble beginnings of state-maintained roadways. The color scheme likely reflects the period's standard sign making methods, offering a glimpse into a time before standardized metal shields were commonplace.

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.
