Colorado 81 1952 (Colorado) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a piece of Colorado's transportation history: the 1952 design of the Colorado State Highway 81 road sign. The design, originating from the era when this route connected communities in northeastern Colorado, presents a visual echo of a bygone era in road travel.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element of the design is the distinct shield shape that characterizes historical Colorado highway markers. Within the shield, the number "81" is prominently displayed, signifying the specific highway it represents. The typography and color palette are representative of the mid-20th-century aesthetic.

Meaning and Symbolism

The Colorado 81 road sign design is more than just a number; it symbolizes the connectivity and the growth of Colorado's transportation infrastructure in the mid-20th century. It embodies a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time when road trips were a significant part of American life and the highway system was rapidly expanding. This design is a visual reminder of the routes that connected people and places, fostering community and enabling exploration across the state. The design serves as a tribute to the legacy of Colorado’s road system.

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.
