Illinois 164 1950 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

The design of this shot glass evokes the spirit of mid-century Illinois road travel. The artwork replicates the style of a 1950s-era Illinois road sign for Route 164.

Visual Elements and Representation

The design prominently features the number "164" in a bold, sans-serif font, the classic style used in signage of the period. The number is likely displayed on a rectangular or shield-shaped background, with colors characteristic of Illinois road signs from that era. These colors might include shades of black, white, and potentially a secondary color, such as yellow or red, depending on the specific sign type (e.g., a route marker, a warning sign, or informational sign). The use of these colors helps denote the vintage look of the shot glass.

The "Illinois" state name would be incorporated into the design, either as a direct element or within the background, solidifying the location and the time period. The inclusion of the state name provides context. The design serves as a nostalgic nod to driving across the state, evoking memories of vintage automobiles and the open road.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a journey back in time, symbolizing the freedom and adventure associated with early car travel. The road sign imagery evokes a sense of exploration and discovery, reflecting the experience of traveling the Illinois countryside. This shot glass design is a visual reminder of the past and the state of Illinois, and its association with a classic era of road travel.

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.
