Colorado 21 1926 (Colorado) Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass features a striking design inspired by the "Colorado 21" state highway route marker from 1926. The artwork is a direct homage to the early days of standardized road signage in Colorado, reflecting a time when automobile travel was rapidly evolving.

Visual Elements & Representation

The design faithfully recreates the key features of the vintage sign. The dominant elements are the white background and bold black lettering of the route number, "21." This signifies that the route is Colorado State Highway 21.

An orange border frames the design, a signature characteristic of the 1926 markers. This distinctive color scheme, paired with the white and black, was considered attractive and eye-catching at the time, making the signs easily recognizable.

The inclusion of the highway department and associated motorist organization medallions, though perhaps simplified for this application, would symbolize the state's efforts to standardize navigation. This design is a nostalgic nod to this early era of efficient wayfinding.

Historical Significance

The design represents a pivotal moment in Colorado's history of infrastructure development. It exemplifies the state's transition towards a unified road marking system, making navigation more accessible for early motorists. In essence, this shot glass pays tribute to a now-historic design that assisted travelers on their journey.

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.
