There is something about printed shot glasses that appeal to me. I like anything printed with funny sayings and quotes. Some are really funny and witty, while some are inspirational and thought-provoking. I have been collecting them almost half of my life. That is what peeked my interest in these small sized glasses.
The size of a shot is still debated by many people since there is no certain definition for the size of a shot. After some research, I found that New York came close to legislate the size of a shot in 1947 but unfortunately, the bill was not passed. Second in running was the state of California and currently, the state of Utah changed their definition of a shot from one ounce to one and one-half ounces. Utah is currently the only state to have this law. While collecting numerous types over the years, from printed to frosted to etched and to favor , I'm stuck in a conundrum of deciding what it is I am actually collecting. Is my collection based on me collecting glasses or am I collecting the designs
The thing is, I do not want to define the way I collect my glasses. Looking at my large collection, I can safely say that I collect them for their design as well as for the glass--since a lot of them come in various shapes but with the same designs or same shaped glasses with different designs. I can have one set of printed shot glasses all with the same designs but with various sizes and their handles are of a different color too.
I am also the owner of ones with the same designs, same shapes and in same sizes. The only thing that sets them apart is the fact that they all come in different colors. I don't think it's weird to be having this sort of collection. I mean, I know women who collect the same kind of handbags in different colors to match their different colored outfits and I know men who collect the same type of watches-- only difference is that the face of the watches are in different colors or come with a chronograph or some small explicit feature. My all time favorite are printed shot glasses with witty and funny sayings.
