Illinois 160 1926 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to the original Illinois Route 160 road signs, as they would have appeared circa 1926. The artwork is a direct visual representation of the iconic "state-outline" design, a distinctive feature of Illinois highway markers from the early numbered route era.

Key Design Elements

The central element of the design is the unmistakable shape of the state of Illinois, die-cut and used as a shield. The state's outline is rendered in a clean, minimalist style, providing a recognizable and symbolic context.

The route number "160" is prominently displayed, centered within the state's silhouette. It is presented in large, bold numerals, allowing for easy readability and instant recognition of the route designation. Above the route number, in smaller text, the word "ILLINOIS" is placed, completing the official state route sign.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design carries significant historical and geographical meaning. The Illinois outline is immediately recognizable as the state's emblem, embodying state pride. The route number, "160," specifies a particular transportation corridor, and the design's vintage style evokes a sense of nostalgia, representing the earliest days of Illinois's road network.

The design, as a whole, functions as a miniaturized version of the historical road signs of Illinois. It represents the historical evolution of the transportation system of Illinois. The road sign format also symbolizes exploration, travel, and the freedom of the open road.

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.
