Illinois 129 1926 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design celebrates the history of Illinois highways, specifically evoking the era of the initial U.S. highway numbering system established in 1926. The primary visual element is a stylized representation of an Illinois road sign from that period.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central image is a shield, mirroring the design conventions of early highway signage. The number “129” boldly appears within the shield, indicating a specific route designation. The overall aesthetic is one of clarity and simplicity, reflecting the practical function of road signs.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design’s symbolism connects to the evolution of transportation infrastructure and the historical development of road networks. The “1926” element represents the significant moment when highways were formally numbered and organized, setting the stage for modern road travel. The Illinois state context gives a sense of place and local pride, indicating a connection to the state's roadways.

The use of the classic shield shape and font styles reinforces the design's historical connection. It is a nostalgic nod to a bygone era of road travel and the visual language of the open road.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — 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.

They’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 (≈44.3 ml) — 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 — 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 — 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 (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
