Colorado 221 1946 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a faithful reproduction of the "Colorado 221 1946" road sign design. The design is a direct representation of a historic state highway route marker, a visual symbol of Colorado's transportation history dating back to the mid-20th century.

Design Elements and Representation

The design consists of a stark, utilitarian aesthetic. The primary element is a bold, black number "221" set against a white background, the classic color scheme of Colorado's state highway markers from the 1940s. The shape suggests a shield, the universal symbol of a route marker, instantly communicating information about the road ahead.

The design encapsulates the era's focus on functionality and clear communication. The simplicity highlights the sign's primary function: to provide drivers with immediate route identification. This design embodies a time before the adoption of more elaborate, flag-inspired designs that were introduced later.

Historical Significance

The "1946" designation is crucial; this marks a specific moment in Colorado's road signage evolution. This style is now considered a vintage design, capturing a slice of a simpler era in the state's road and transportation history. The design evokes nostalgia for a time when road travel was different. The simple yet impactful design makes it a tangible piece of transportation history, appealing to those interested in vintage road signs, Colorado history, or a "retro" aesthetic.

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.
