California 20 (1957) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic piece of California highway history: the iconic 1957 California Route 20 road sign. The artwork is a direct homage to the "cutout" style shields that graced California highways from the 1930s to the early 1960s.

Visual Representation

The design faithfully replicates the original sign's visual language. A distinctive outline of the state of California, complete with its characteristic notch representing Baja California, forms the central shape. The color scheme is instantly recognizable: a vibrant green background, contrasted by a crisp white border and lettering. The word "CALIFORNIA" arches gracefully across the top in bold, uppercase block letters, reminiscent of a bygone era of road travel.

Symbolism and Meaning

The centerpiece of the design is the large, bold "20," prominently displayed in white. This number signifies State Route 20, a vital east-west thoroughfare connecting California's North Coast to its interior. The design embodies the spirit of exploration and travel, representing the open road and the freedom of movement. It's a nostalgic symbol of a time when highway signage had a distinct aesthetic, reflecting the state's pioneering spirit and connection to the vast landscapes it traverses.

The artwork serves as a miniature celebration of California's rich history of road travel and its iconic highway system.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
