Colorado 273 (1946) Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass features a compelling piece of Colorado's transportation history, brought to life through its design: the "Colorado 273 (1946)" highway shield. The artwork is a faithful reproduction of the historical road sign, offering a glimpse into mid-20th-century Colorado.

A Nostalgic Journey

The design immediately evokes a sense of nostalgia. The black and white shield, characteristic of the 1946-era route markers, represents a bygone era of travel and infrastructure. It's a visual reminder of a time when the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) used a distinct style for its state highway signage.

Symbolism of the Road

The "273" is more than just a number; it signifies a specific route, once known as Colorado State Highway 273 (SH 273). While the exact details of that particular road might be shrouded in historical information, the sign's presence symbolizes a broader idea: the evolution of state highways and the continuous changes within travel networks.

The design acts as a tangible connection to Colorado's past, celebrating the aesthetics of a specific moment in time. For those with an interest in transportation history, this shot glass serves as a small, yet powerful, artifact from the open road of yesterday.

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.
