Illinois 101 1950 (Illinois) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to the classic aesthetic of Illinois road signage, specifically Illinois Route 101, as it might have appeared in the mid-20th century, around the 1950s.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element of the design is the number "101," representing Illinois Route 101. This is prominently displayed, likely in a bold, easily readable font reminiscent of the era. The numeral is positioned within a specific color scheme commonly associated with Illinois road signs.

A critical visual component is the inclusion of the outline of the state of Illinois itself. This adds context and clearly identifies the route’s location within the state, reinforcing the state's identity.

Design Meaning and Symbolism

The overall design reflects a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time in American history. The "1950" in the design signifies the era when road signs were adopting the specific designs and styles. The design embodies a sense of travel, exploration, and the open road, tied to the identity of Illinois.

The classic design elements combine to create a timeless piece that evokes memories of driving, road trips, and the enduring legacy of the Illinois highway system.

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.
