Illinois 158 1950 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design evokes the nostalgia of mid-20th century Illinois, specifically referencing Illinois Route 158 as it might have appeared around 1950. The artwork directly emulates the style of vintage Illinois highway signage, offering a visual connection to a bygone era of road travel and state history.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element is the iconic "Illinois" state highway marker, rendered in a classic, period-appropriate font. The route number "158" is prominently displayed, likely in a bold, easy-to-read style. The design likely incorporates the characteristic shape and color scheme associated with these signs, perhaps featuring a combination of black, white, and possibly shades of blue or green, indicative of the original signage. The overall aesthetic is clean and simple, a hallmark of mid-century design.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a journey back in time, a tribute to the historical significance of Illinois Route 158 and the evolution of transportation infrastructure. It symbolizes the spirit of exploration, the open road, and the enduring connection between communities and the highways that link them. For those with a love of nostalgia and vintage aesthetics, this shot glass offers a tangible piece of Illinois history.

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.
