California 21 1957 (California) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

Design Overview

This shot glass features a meticulously recreated visual homage to the iconic 1957 California 21 road sign. The design captures the essence of a bygone era in California highway history.

Artwork Details

The central element of the design is the unmistakable silhouette of the state of California, rendered in the classic cutout style. This shape, with its pointed bottom and the distinctive notch representing the separation from Baja California, immediately identifies the sign's origin.

The color scheme adheres to the original 1957 Division of Highways standard. A vibrant green background provides the backdrop, while crisp white is employed for the border, numerals, and text, ensuring high visibility.

Across the top of the "California" shape, the word "CALIFORNIA" is presented in clean, white block letters, mirroring the authentic signage. Centered below, a bold white "21" signifies the historic State Route 21.

Symbolism and Meaning

The California cutout shape itself serves as a powerful symbol of the Golden State, instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with California’s roadways. The incorporation of this design element signifies the historical context of California’s road-building legacy.

The specific "21" number within the shield pays tribute to a now-historic route, marking the path of SR 21 that once connected vital cities in the Bay Area before the Interstate system evolved. The green and white color palette are a time capsule of transportation aesthetics.

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.
