WV-8 1922 (Virginia) Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass design evokes the spirit of early 20th-century Virginia roadways. It’s a tribute to a bygone era when state highway systems were nascent, and road signs offered a sense of simple, direct guidance.

The Visuals: A Snapshot of History

The central element is a white circle, characteristic of the 1922 Virginia State Highway signs. Within, a bold black "8" dominates, clearly identifying the route. Above the number, the word "VIRGINIA" arches gracefully in a classic serif font, anchoring the design in its historical context.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design is more than just a representation of a road marker; it's a symbolic link to the past. The clean lines and straightforward typography reflect the practicality and clarity of early highway signage. It speaks of a time when the open road represented adventure, and the numbered routes promised a journey of discovery. The design is a conversation piece, a reminder of how we traveled, and the places we once explored.

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.
