Illinois 119A 1926 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Description

This shot glass design pays homage to a fleeting moment in Illinois road history: the short-lived existence of Illinois Route 119A in 1926. The artwork strives to capture the essence of early 20th-century highway signage, a time before standardized designs reigned supreme.

Visual Elements

The design features the route designation "119A" prominently displayed. This number is rendered in a classic, early-American typeface, reflecting the aesthetic of the 1920s. Above the numerical designation, the word "ILLINOIS" is arched gracefully, mirroring the typical format for state route markers of that era.

The color scheme adheres to the known conventions of the time: black numerals and lettering set against a light background. This contrast was common for road signs of the era, chosen for maximum visibility. The overall look is simple and direct, communicating the route number clearly and efficiently.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design represents a piece of ephemeral history. The "119A" designation symbolizes an auxiliary route, a connector or spur that, unlike the main routes, did not stand the test of time. It speaks of a road system in development, with routes being added, removed, and refined. The shot glass serves as a reminder of these historical changes.

This design celebrates a historical moment within the framework of state history. This shot glass is designed to showcase that historical moment for those interested in the history of state roads.

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.
