Illinois 174 1950 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design evokes the nostalgia of mid-20th century Illinois roadways. It prominently features a stylized representation of the Illinois Route 174 road sign as it would have appeared around 1950.

Design Elements

The artwork replicates the classic state highway shield design. At the top of the design, the word "ILLINOIS" is boldly displayed in a crisp, clean font, mirroring the historical signage.

Below "ILLINOIS," the route number "174" is prominently featured. The number is rendered in a black, easy-to-read font against a white (or light-colored) background, staying true to the era's design simplicity.

The overall shape of the design is a rectangle, reminiscent of the road signs that once guided travelers across Peoria County. The clean lines and bold color contrast are characteristic of the utilitarian yet visually impactful design of the time.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design serves as a tribute to a bygone era of Illinois transportation. It symbolizes a specific period of American history, connecting the viewer to the network of roads that once connected communities. The road sign itself represented direction, destination, and the freedom of the open road.

The inclusion of "ILLINOIS" at the top strongly identifies the sign as a piece of state infrastructure, linking the user to a specific location and shared experience. It's a symbolic reminder of a route once traveled and the lasting impact of Illinois' road-building legacy.

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.
