Colorado 47 1946 (Colorado) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design captures the essence of a bygone era in Colorado's transportation history, specifically the mid-20th century aesthetic of the state's highway signage. The artwork replicates a "Colorado 47" road sign from approximately 1946, offering a nostalgic nod to a simpler time.

Visual Elements & Representation

The design faithfully recreates the classic "shield-style" highway marker. Dominating the design is the full word "COLORADO" emblazoned across the top in a bold, sans-serif font. This feature, characteristic of older signs, clearly identifies the state. Below, a prominent, stark "47" boldly announces the route number.

The color scheme is simple and effective: a stark white background with black lettering, typical of the 1940s road signs. This straightforward approach allows for high legibility, a key element of the sign's original purpose. The embossed or painted letters are representative of the period's style.

Meaning & Symbolism

The "Colorado 47 1946" design symbolizes Colorado's history and its evolving infrastructure. It’s a tangible link to the past, reminding us of the road networks, signage styles, and the aesthetic sensibilities of that time. The design celebrates the legacy of state-level route branding and how it changed over decades. This design evokes the spirit of exploration and travel during the mid-20th century when the modern road system was being developed.

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.
