I-490 OH 1961 (Ohio) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A Hypothetical Relic of Interstate History

This shot glass features a design inspired by a purely hypothetical road sign: an I-490 shield as it might have appeared in Cleveland, Ohio, back in 1961. This design pays homage to a time before the Interstate was fully realized, capturing the spirit of early highway planning and construction.

Classic Interstate Aesthetics

The artwork replicates the classic Interstate shield design of the era. The iconic shape, a symbol instantly recognizable to drivers, is present. A bold, red banner emblazoned with "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering crowns the shield. This is a nod to the national network's branding.

Vintage Color Palette & Typography

A vibrant blue field is the backdrop for the prominently displayed numerals โ€œ490,โ€ rendered in clean white typography. This color combination is a staple of Interstate signage, ensuring high visibility. The design also incorporates a possible โ€œOHIOโ€ at the bottom, signifying the state of the route. This design encapsulates the intended clarity and guidance inherent in road sign design.

A Visual Representation

The design represents the "what if" scenario of a sign that never existed but could have, creating a piece of hypothetical history. It speaks to an era of progress and the future of transport, encapsulated within a small, collectible object.

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.
