California 26 1948 (California) Road Sign Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to the historical California State Route 26, specifically as it would have appeared in 1948. The artwork directly reflects the highway signage of that era, offering a glimpse into California's transportation past.

The Miner's Spade and Route 26

The central design element is a representation of the "miner's spade" shield, a distinctive shape used for California highway signs prior to the 1960s. The shape itself is reminiscent of the California Gold Rush, visually connecting the highway system to the state's historical identity and development.

Inside the spade shape, the design prominently features the number "26," clearly identifying the route. Above, the word "CALIFORNIA" arches across the top, grounding the route within its state context.

Historical Significance

The design serves as a visual reminder of the pre-1964 SR 26, a route that existed in Southern California and carried a different path than its modern counterpart. This graphic tells a story about the evolution of the state's highway system.

This simple yet elegant presentation of the historical SR 26 is a way to celebrate California history.

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.
