I-290 OH 1961 (Ohio) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design evokes the spirit of early Interstate highway signage, specifically a hypothetical I-290 shield from 1961 in Ohio. It's a nostalgic nod to a road that never was, transformed into a miniature emblem.

Visual Representation

The artwork centers on a classic Interstate highway shield, meticulously rendered to reflect the design conventions of the early 1960s. The shape itself is the iconic cutout shield, immediately recognizable to any enthusiast of American road history.

Color Scheme and Elements

At the top, a bold red banner proudly displays the word "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering. This is a common element on official Interstate signage. The main field of the shield is a vibrant blue, providing a striking contrast to the white "290" numerals that dominate the center, signifying the hypothetical route number.

A clean white border frames the entire design, further enhancing its visibility and visual appeal. The addition of "OHIO" at the bottom underscores the hypothetical route's state designation, completing the illusion of authenticity.

Symbolism

This design represents a sense of American optimism and the burgeoning highway system of the mid-20th century. While I-290 never existed in Ohio, the artwork captures the potential and excitement of the Interstate era, envisioning what might have been. The shot glass serves as a unique collectible, sparking conversations and celebrating a piece of imaginative highway history.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
