Illinois 11 1926 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

A Journey Back in Time

This shot glass design evokes the spirit of early American highway travel. It's a visual tribute to the year 1926, a pivotal moment in the history of road infrastructure in the United States and specifically, in the state of Illinois. The design centers around the iconic representation of a road sign, a familiar and instantly recognizable symbol of travel and exploration.

Vintage Aesthetics

The central element is the stylized number "11," likely representing Illinois Route 11. This is combined with the year "1926," which acts as a visual signpost, hinting at the era of early highway standardization and the birth of a more organized road network. The font and overall layout may pay homage to the classic, often hand-painted, signage seen during that period.

Symbolism of the Open Road

The design, if referencing a real route, represents a specific leg of the vast Illinois road network. Whether it's the exact route or not, it speaks to the romance and adventure associated with the early days of motoring. The design's retro style and emphasis on the date also evokes a sense of nostalgia, a yearning for a simpler time.

A Collector's Item

The design's association with 1926 and Route 11 offers a subtle nod to collectors of vintage Americana. The use of “Illinois” along with the route number provides the context, tying the image to a specific place and time. Overall, the artwork aims to capture the essence of a bygone era of American exploration and adventure on the open road.

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.
