Illinois 113 1950 (Illinois) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to the classic Illinois Route 113 road signs of the 1950s. The artwork seeks to capture the aesthetic of signage from that era, providing a nostalgic nod to Illinois's transportation history.

Visual Elements

The central element is a representation of an Illinois highway route marker. The design prominently features the number "113" displayed within a shape reminiscent of the period's signage, potentially a rectangular or shield-like form as was common in the mid-20th century. Above the route number, the word "ILLINOIS" is clearly and boldly displayed, as would have been typical.

The typography and overall styling of the numbers and lettering would likely aim to evoke the fonts and visual characteristics of signage from the 1950s. The design could incorporate elements suggesting an embossed or cut-out design, a common feature of older road signs.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a specific historical artifact: a road sign from the Illinois highway system. Illinois Route 113 is not just a number; it represents a specific transportation route and the era in which it was established. The sign symbolizes a time of early state highway development, and the growth of infrastructure in Illinois.

This design evokes nostalgia for a time when road trips, state highways, and simpler road signage were a core element of the American landscape. It subtly connects the viewer with the history of travel and the evolution of transportation infrastructure in the state of Illinois.

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.
