Illinois 147 1926 Shot Glass Design

Design Overview

The design of this shot glass evokes a sense of vintage Americana and highway history, playing on the nostalgia of early road travel. It centers around the "Illinois 147 1926" designation, a combination of state route and a significant historical year, that likely did not exist together on a road sign.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The artwork likely mimics the style of vintage road signs. The layout almost certainly features the route number "147" prominently displayed, potentially in a classic font used for signage. The inclusion of "1926" suggests a nod to the year the U.S. Numbered Highway System was established, and the visual design might feature elements reminiscent of that era, such as a stylized border or a slightly weathered appearance.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design's primary function is as a tribute to highway culture and transportation history. While not reflecting an actual road sign, the design serves as a playful combination of road signage elements and a historic date, which creates a symbolic representation of the evolution of the road systems in America. The visual contrast between a state route and the date of the U.S. Highway System establishment emphasizes the intersection of these two different but connected aspects of highway design, making it a unique and conversation-starting design.

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.
