Delaware 273 (1955) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic representation of Delaware's past: the 1955 design of the DE 273 road sign. The artwork faithfully recreates the simple, utilitarian style of the era's signage, reflecting a time when function took precedence.

Visual Elements

The design is centered on a white rectangular field, bordered by a thin black outline. Prominently displayed within this field are the bold black numerals "273," centered to ensure maximum legibility. This straightforward layout embodies the state's route marking system of the 1940s and 1950s, a period before the standardization that came with the circle-in-square signs.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design serves as a nostalgic reminder of Delaware's transportation history. It symbolizes a period of growth and development, connecting communities and facilitating travel across the state. The simplicity of the design itself, devoid of embellishment, speaks to the practical spirit of the time. The numbers "273" are a direct reference to the east-west route through New Castle County, connecting suburban and rural areas – a testament to the essential role road infrastructure plays in shaping communities.

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.
