Zeichen 278-5 - Ende der zulässigen Höchstgeschwindigkeit StVO 2017 (Germany) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz
This design reproduces German road sign 278-5, the sign that marks the end of a previously specified maximum speed limit under the Straßenverkehrs-Ordnung (StVO).
Visual Elements & Composition
The artwork follows the standardized visual language of German road signage, built on a high-contrast palette of black and white. The symbol sits at the centre with nothing competing for attention, so the sign reads at a glance. Its minimalist layout favours functional clarity over decoration: clean edges, bold shapes and a single focal point carry the whole image.
Meaning & Symbolism
Sign 278-5 tells drivers that a speed restriction has ended. It is a regulatory instruction rather than a warning, and it belongs to the wider system of traffic law that governs German roads. The design stands for precision and order, the quiet logic that lets millions of drivers share the same roads safely. Its origin lies in the StVO framework that shapes German infrastructure.
Raise a Glass to the Open Road
A shot glass is small and held close, so this sign becomes a little piece of road you can hold in your hand. The bold black-and-white symbol shows clearly against the curved sides of the glass when it is raised for a toast. For a friend who knows the autobahn or a gift for anyone who has ever waited for a clear road ahead, it is a cheeky nod to the moment the limit lifts.

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.
- Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
- Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
- 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.
