Delaware 261 (1955) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a faithful reproduction of the Delaware Route 261 road sign design from the mid-1950s. The artwork pays homage to Delaware's transitional state route marker style, predating the state's adoption of the iconic circle-in-square design.

Visual Elements

The design is centered around a stark white rectangle, mirroring the original sign's shape. A bold, thin black border outlines the rectangle, providing a defined frame for the graphic.

Numbers

At the heart of the design, large, black numerals "261" are prominently displayed. The numbers are centered within the white background, ensuring clear visibility, just as they were intended for drivers navigating the roads of northern New Castle County.

Meaning & Symbolism

This shot glass design represents a piece of Delaware's transportation history. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for a specific era and serves as a reminder of the evolution of the state's road systems. The simplicity of the design reflects the straightforwardness of the era, while the use of Route 261 links the design to a specific Delaware roadway and its function as a vital connector route within its community.

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.
