Colorado 171 1926 (Colorado) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design that evokes the spirit of early Colorado highway navigation. The artwork directly replicates the historical Colorado 171 state route sign as it would have appeared in 1926, around the time the U.S. Highway System was forming. The design is a faithful representation of Colorado's first statewide uniform numbering system for highways, as overseen by the Colorado State Highway Department.

Design Elements

The design utilizes a classic color scheme typical of the era: a stark black background serves as the foundation. The road number and bordering elements are rendered in a crisp white. This contrast ensured high visibility for the road users of the time, even during the hours of darkness or inclement weather.

At the top of the design, the word "COLORADO" is presented in a simple, uppercase block font, a direct nod to the hand-stenciled or enamel-painted lettering of the original signs. The number "171" is prominently displayed at the center, signifying the specific state highway route.

The sign is enclosed by a thin white line outlining the borders of the state. This design choice, unique to Colorado in that era, represents a sense of identity and place. It makes the sign instantly recognizable and visually associated with the Centennial State.

Symbolism

The design, with its bold typography and the iconic state outline, symbolizes a time of pioneering road construction. It offers a glimpse into the evolution of highway systems and the growth of Colorado. It also represents a piece of history, where the road numbers were the key tools for navigation.

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.
