Illinois 000 1950 Shot Glass: A Vintage Tribute

This shot glass features a striking design inspired by vintage Illinois road signage from the 1950s. The artwork pays homage to the state's iconic pentagon-shaped route markers that once guided motorists across Illinois.

Design Elements

The centerpiece of the design is a prominent black "000" representing a fictional or potentially misidentified Illinois State Route number. Above this, the word "ILLINOIS" is elegantly arched, a nod to the original signage's format. This layout evokes the spirit of a bygone era of American road travel.

The overall aesthetic channels the historical significance of mid-century highway design. The black lettering against a stark white background captures the clarity and simplicity that were hallmarks of the original road signs. This design is both a visual reminder of a specific time and place and a symbolic representation of the open road and the freedom of travel.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents nostalgia for a classic era of motoring and road trips. It invokes the adventure and the pioneering spirit of early automobile culture. By incorporating elements of the Illinois road sign design from the 1950s, the artwork provides a tangible connection to a past that values simplicity, directness, and a sense of exploration.

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.
