Illinois 116A (Illinois) Road Sign Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design replicates the iconic road sign for Illinois Route 116A, a historical piece of Illinois's transportation past. The artwork prominently features the "Illinois 116A" shield, rendered in the classic design standards of the Illinois Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (IMUTCD).

Design Elements and Meaning

The central element is the shield itself, a visual cue instantly recognizable to those familiar with Illinois highways. The prominent "116A" lettering within the shield signifies a former auxiliary or spur route, a branch off the primary Illinois Route 116. This "A" suffix, a common practice in road-naming conventions, subtly communicates a connection to, yet a distinction from, the main route.

The design's overall aesthetic evokes a sense of nostalgia. The typeface, layout, and color scheme directly reflect the historical road signs that once guided travelers along Illinois 116A, connecting Benson to Toluca and Route 17. The design acts as a tangible reminder of a bygone era in Illinois's road network, memorializing a route retired in 1993.

The "Illinois 116A" design is more than just a depiction; it's a visual embodiment of history and the evolution of transportation infrastructure. It transforms a functional marker into a piece of art, a symbol of a forgotten road and the stories it held.

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.
