California 76 1957 (California) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design captures the essence of a bygone era in California road signage: the mid-1950s.

Design Elements

The central focus is the simplified “spade” shield, a hallmark of California state route signage from approximately 1956 to 1963. The design is intentionally minimalist, reflecting a transition in highway signage design. The dominant feature is the number "76," prominently displayed within the shield. This numeral clearly identifies the route, California State Route 76 (CA 76).

Representation and Symbolism

The design represents a specific historical period and a particular style of road sign. The "1957" designation alludes to the design style prevalent during that year. This style represents a deliberate simplification compared to earlier, more ornate designs. The absence of additional crests or symbols emphasizes the focus on basic route identification.

The shot glass design, by referencing this particular signage era, offers a nostalgic nod to California’s transportation history. It encapsulates a moment in time, when the state's highway system was evolving, and its route markers were undergoing a modern transformation.

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.
