This shot glass design captures the essence of a vintage Illinois Route 38 road sign from the 1950s. The artwork pays homage to the era's distinctive highway signage, a tangible piece of automotive history and roadside Americana.

Visual Elements

The design features a stylized representation of an Illinois road sign. It prominently displays the route designation, "ILLINOIS 38". The lettering likely echoes the font styles of the 1950s, a period when clean, bold typography was prevalent in road signage for optimal readability.

The overall shape and color palette of the design are key to capturing the vintage aesthetic. Reflecting the reflective surfaces used during the 1950s, the design employs colors common during the time. The imagery recreates the feel of driving on an Illinois highway of the era.

Representation and Symbolism

The "ILLINOIS 38" signifies a specific route within the Illinois state highway system. For those familiar with Illinois history, the sign evokes the era of post-war expansion and the rise of the American road trip. It serves as a symbolic marker of a journey through the state, hinting at the freedom and adventure associated with driving along historic highways, including the portion of IL 38 that follows part of the Lincoln Highway.

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.
