Illinois 22 1950 (Illinois) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design captures the essence of a mid-century Illinois road sign, specifically referencing Illinois Route 22 as it would have appeared around 1950. The artwork is a direct visual echo of the route marker signs that guided travelers across northeastern Illinois during that era.

Visual Elements and Representation

The design centers around the bold designation "Illinois 22". This numeral, likely in a classic font style of the period, is the focal point, instantly communicating the route number to any viewer. The color palette of the design, if mirroring the original signs, would likely include dark colors for legibility with lighter colors or reflective elements to make it visible at night. The design evokes a sense of travel, exploration, and the historical development of Illinois's roadways.

The presence of "22" would indicate the specific Illinois Route, the "22" would refer to the existing route, the artwork would represent a specific time period: the late 1950s/early 1960s.

Symbolism and Meaning

The artwork serves as a nostalgic nod to an earlier era of travel and automotive culture. It represents the historical road network of Illinois, the evolution of highway design, and the memories associated with journeys across the state. This sign is a piece of Americana, reminding viewers of a time when road signs had a distinct aesthetic and conveyed information essential to navigation.

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.
