Illinois 144 1960 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Description

The design adorning this shot glass presents a hypothetical 1960-era Illinois state-route marker for IL 144. It pays homage to a classic style that never actually existed in reality, making it a unique piece for collectors and enthusiasts.

Artwork Details

The central element is a shield-shaped graphic, reminiscent of the vintage Illinois state route markers. Within the shield, the number "144" is prominently displayed, rendered in a bold, sans-serif font popular during the 1960s. The numerals are likely set against a light background, in contrast to the dark border of the shield. This contrast ensures high visibility.

The color palette would be typical of the era, potentially featuring colors of a shade that was used in state road signs in 1960. The combination of these specific features creates an evocative retro aesthetic.

Meaning and Symbolism

While the road IL 144 itself was never designated, this artwork's design allows the viewer to imagine an alternate history, visualizing what an unassigned Illinois state route marker might have looked like. It represents a nod to the past, evoking the spirit of mid-century Americana and the legacy of Illinois' highway system, even in its hypothetical form. The design speaks to an appreciation of history, design, and a playful exploration of what might have been.

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.
