Colorado 130 1946 Shot Glass: A Vintage Visual

This shot glass embodies the spirit of mid-century Americana, evoking the era of classic road trips and the evolution of highway design. The design on this glass directly references a "Colorado 130 1946" road sign, a style of state highway marker used in Colorado around that time.

Design Elements and Representation

The artwork replicates the visual characteristics of the historic sign. The bold "COLORADO" proudly displayed on the sign, is a key element of the design. The prominent "130" number, representing the specific highway route, is featured on the sign.

The font choice is indicative of the period: a simple, rounded style typical of the 1940s, providing excellent readability. The design choice is an homage to a time when signage was less complex, focused on clarity, and reflecting the aesthetic shift away from older block fonts.

Symbolism and Meaning

This design serves as a visual portal to the past, reminding us of a simpler time of travel and the evolution of highway design. It offers a sense of nostalgia for the bygone era of early state-highway signage, where function and design were carefully considered.

The shot glass becomes a miniature tribute to the historical significance of road signs, celebrating their ability to function as wayfinders and visual records of a changing America.

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.
