California 111 1934 S (California) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces a 1934 California State Route 111 road sign, a crisp white-and-black marker built around a miner's spade shape and a grizzly bear.

Visual Elements & Composition

White dominates the design, with black used for the route numerals and lettering, giving it the stark, high-contrast look of a roadside marker. The layout is organised around a pointed arch shield, with the bold number 111 set large enough to read at a glance. Around it sit the words STATE, HIGHWAY, and the abbreviated CAL. and SO. lines, alongside an Auto Club emblem. The flat vector treatment keeps every element crisp and legible.

Meaning & Symbolism

The miner's spade outline was adopted in the regulation code of late 1934 and points straight back to California's Gold Rush origins. The grizzly bear comes from the California Bear Flag, so the sign joins civic infrastructure to the state's own emblem. The Division of Architecture developed the marker as part of the original State Sign Routes programme announced in August 1934, which makes it a document of the early years of American highway branding. Route 111 runs north to south through southeastern California, from the U.S.–Mexico border near Calexico to Interstate 10 near Palm Springs.

Made for the Glass in Your Hand

A shot glass is small, held close, and lifted at eye level, so the design reads from the inside out as the glass tilts. The bold spade and the number 111 carry across that short distance, and the bear becomes a talking point at the bar or on the shelf. It is a fitting keepsake for anyone who has driven a stretch of California's back roads and wants a little Gold Rush history with their last round.

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.
