California 45: A Toast to Golden History

This shot glass celebrates the iconic design of the 1957 California State Route 45 road sign. The artwork is a faithful reproduction of a historical marker, offering a glimpse into California's rich past.

The Miner's Spade: A Symbol of the Gold Rush

The central element of the design is the distinctive spade shape. This wasn't a random choice; it's a direct reference to the miner's spade, a tool synonymous with the California Gold Rush. This shape immediately connects the sign, and now the shot glass, to a pivotal moment in the state's history.

Simple Elegance: The 1957 Design Refresh

The design reflects the streamlined aesthetic of the late 1950s. The absence of the grizzly bear silhouette and extra text allows the number "45" to take center stage. This simple yet powerful presentation is a hallmark of the era, showcasing an evolution in design while still retaining its iconic symbolism.

Route 45: Navigating the Sacramento Valley

The bold "45" indicates that you're on State Route 45, which runs through the Sacramento Valley. It's a reminder of journeys taken and destinations reached, encapsulating the spirit of exploration and travel.

A Collector's Item: A Slice of California History

This shot glass isn't just a vessel; it's a visual representation of a bygone era. It's a collector's item, celebrating the unique and distinctive designs of California's state-route signage, a testament to the state's visual heritage.

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.
