Illinois 128A (Illinois) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design that pays homage to the now-decommissioned Illinois Route 128A, a historic state highway designation. The artwork accurately replicates the road sign that would have marked this route during its era of use, likely from the 1930s to the 1940s.

Visual Elements

The design adheres to the classic Illinois primary route marker of the time. It presents a clean and minimalist aesthetic, reflecting the standardization of signage in the mid-20th century. The centerpiece of the design is the bold black numerals "128A," centered within the sign's frame, signifying the specific route.

Above the numbers, the word "ILLINOIS" is displayed in small uppercase letters, clearly identifying the state this route belonged to. This lettering ensures the route's origin is immediately recognizable.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design is a direct representation of a piece of Illinois transportation history. The sign symbolizes a bygone era of road construction and state highway planning. The "A" suffix denoted an alternate or spur route, a practice that has since been largely phased out, making this sign a nostalgic emblem of a different time. It represents the evolution of infrastructure and the importance of roads to the state's development.

The black and white color scheme mirrors the sign's original color palette, reminding the viewer of the simplicity and functionality of early road signage. The overall design provides a snapshot of the past, offering a tangible connection to the history of Illinois roadways.

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.
