Illinois 155 1950 (Illinois) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to a piece of American transportation history: the 1950s-era Illinois Route 155 road sign. The artwork meticulously recreates the visual elements of this vintage marker, transporting viewers back to an era of classic roadside aesthetics.

Design Elements and Representation

The design prominently features the designation "ILLINOIS" in a classic typeface, positioned above the route number "155". This reflects the common format of mid-20th century Illinois state route markers. The style of the numbers is likely indicative of the era, evoking a sense of mid-century modernism and straightforward functionality.

The overall shape is likely rectangular or somewhat square, mirroring the physical form of the original road sign. This rectangular format is a familiar symbol of navigation and direction, a visual cue designed to guide travelers along the designated route.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents the historical significance of Illinois Route 155, a state highway in Randolph County, Illinois, established in 1924. It symbolizes a bygone era of road travel, a time before the widespread use of interstate highways and the constant evolution of sign design.

The artwork serves as a miniature tribute to the practical, utilitarian style of the 1950s road signs. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time on the open road, when the road sign was an iconic symbol of exploration and discovery.

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.
