Illinois 125 1950 (Illinois) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to the classic Illinois Route 125 road sign, specifically evoking the style of the mid-20th century, approximately 1950. The artwork directly references the signage that would have guided motorists along this central Illinois highway during that era.

Visual Elements & Representation

The design prominently features the number "125," signifying Illinois Route 125. Above or near the number, the word "ILLINOIS" (or a visual representation of the state) is likely incorporated, consistent with the expected design of an Illinois state route marker from the period. This emphasizes the state's jurisdiction over the highway.

The style of fonts and potential use of borders or a shield shape are deliberately chosen to reflect mid-20th-century highway signage standards. The overall aesthetic aims to capture the look and feel of a vintage road sign, suggesting a bygone era of American travel and highway construction.

Meaning & Symbolism

The design, at its core, represents Illinois Route 125. It also carries a symbolic connection to the history of Illinois's highway system and the evolution of transportation. The "1950" element suggests a sense of nostalgia, evoking memories of classic American road trips and the iconic imagery of mid-century highway signs. It's a visual tribute to a particular time in history and the infrastructure that supported it.

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.
