Illinois 141 1950 (Illinois) Shot Glass: Design Description

This shot glass showcases a design that pays homage to the mid-20th century road signage of Illinois Route 141. The artwork directly references the classic, historical route markers that would have been seen along this southeastern Illinois highway during the 1950s.

Visual Elements and Representation

The central element of the design is a stylized representation of an Illinois road sign. It prominently features the word "ILLINOIS" at the top in a bold, period-appropriate font, immediately identifying the state. Beneath "ILLINOIS," the route number "141" is displayed. This number is rendered in a clean, easily readable style, reflecting the functional and straightforward aesthetic of signage of that era. The numbers are often rendered in black on a white or light-colored background.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design's symbolism stems from its nostalgic evocation of a particular time and place: the mid-20th century American road trip. This design represents a piece of history and evokes a sense of journey and exploration. The Illinois 141 route marker is not just a sign pointing to a road; it’s a representation of a simpler time, when driving on iconic routes like 141 was a quintessential part of the American experience. This evokes the open road and the freedom of travel.

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.
