Illinois 103 1950 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design faithfully recreates the iconic Illinois Route 103 road sign as it would have appeared in the 1950s. The artwork pays homage to a bygone era of American road travel and the straightforward, functional design of mid-century signage.

Visual Elements

The design features the characteristic square or rectangular shape of an Illinois route marker. At the top, the word "ILLINOIS" is boldly displayed in a simple, sans-serif font, reflecting the style of signage from that period. Beneath, the route number, "103," is prominently showcased, also in a clean, legible font.

The color palette adheres to the standard employed during the 1950s. A bright white background provides a stark contrast to the black text, ensuring high visibility. This color scheme represents clarity and ease of recognition, essential qualities for road signs intended to guide drivers.

Meaning and Symbolism

The Illinois 103 road sign design embodies the spirit of a simpler time, when road trips and exploration were integral to the American experience. It signifies a specific route across the Illinois landscape, providing direction and a sense of place. The design's vintage aesthetic evokes nostalgia and a connection to the history of Illinois and its transportation infrastructure.

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.
