Colorado 48 1946 (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic piece of Colorado history, immortalizing the design of the "Colorado 48" state highway marker as it appeared in 1946. The design is a direct homage to the early-to-mid 20th-century state highway system, a time when road signage was characterized by its simplicity and functionality.

A Slice of History

The artwork replicates the "1946 Colorado State Highway shield" style. The design is presented in a monochrome palette, typically black and white, reflecting the conventions of the era. The name "COLORADO" (or "Colorado") is displayed prominently, along with the route number "48" in a clear, block font. This font choice and the shield or tablet shape are key elements of the 1946 design, a stark contrast to the modern signage used today.

Symbolism of the Road

The "CO 48" sign represents more than just a route number; it symbolizes the historical evolution of road travel and infrastructure in Colorado. It speaks to a time when navigating state highways relied on a different aesthetic. The sign embodies the early stages of a statewide system, offering a nostalgic look back at a simpler time of travel.

This design is perfect for those who appreciate history, road signage, and the stories embedded within the evolution of design. The shot glass encapsulates a piece of Colorado's rich history, celebrating the visual language of the state's transportation heritage.

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.
