Illinois 20 1950 (Illinois) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design evokes the nostalgia of mid-20th century Americana and the golden age of highway travel. The artwork replicates the iconic road signs of the 1950s, specifically those marking U.S. Route 20 (US 20) within the state of Illinois.

Design Elements

The central element of the design is a stylized representation of an “Illinois 20” road sign. The familiar shield shape is likely present, with a black border. The number “20” likely appears in a font style consistent with 1950s signage, potentially with smaller font. Above the number, the state name "ILLINOIS" may be incorporated, a common design element from the period.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design serves as a tribute to both the history of US Route 20 in Illinois and the visual language of American highways. The artwork commemorates an era when car travel and roadside attractions were central to the nation's experience. This design speaks to a sense of place, remembering the experience of traveling along the historical roadways of Illinois. The "1950" subtly references the signage and aesthetics of this period, with the iconic symbol of a highway sign.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — 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.

They’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 (≈44.3 ml) — 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 — 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 — 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 (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
