Arkansas 172 1926 (Arkansas) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design takes the form of a 1926 Arkansas road sign, built around the state's outline and the number 172 in a flat, high-contrast graphic.

Visual Elements & Composition

Black and white do all the work here. Black covers roughly a third of the artwork and white the rest, so the image reads instantly, like a sign seen from the roadside. The Arkansas state silhouette sits at the centre as a die-cut outline, with the route marker placed on it. Lettering is blocky and plain: the word STATE above the number and ROAD below it, with the digits 1, 7 and 2 forming the route designation. Nothing is decorative beyond the shapes themselves, which is why the piece looks so clean.

Meaning & Symbolism

Route markers were how American drivers found their way across a country that was still learning to map itself. Route 172 in Arkansas, shown here in its 1926 form, stands for that moment when individual states began numbering their highways and travellers gained a common language for the road. The state outline makes the meaning local: this is a sign for Arkansas, and the design honours the regional pride and road history it represents. Its mid-century graphic style gives it the nostalgic feel of signage that was once a familiar part of everyday driving.

Why It Suits a Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the sign becomes something you read at arm's length rather than from the verge of a highway. The black outline and bold numerals show clearly against the glass, and each time the glass is lifted, the route marker turns toward the drinker. It is a piece of road history that fits in one hand, and a fitting souvenir for anyone who has driven through Arkansas and remembers the signs along the way.

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.
