Illinois 48 1950 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design evokes the nostalgia of mid-20th century Americana, specifically referencing a vintage Illinois Route 48 road sign. The artwork replicates the iconic look of state highway markers from around 1950, a time when road travel and the expansion of the highway system were central to the American experience.

Visual Elements & Representation

The design prominently features the word "ILLINOIS" at the top, presented in a bold, capitalized font. Beneath it, the number "48" is displayed, representing Illinois Route 48, a significant state highway.

The color scheme likely mirrors the expected design of such signs from that era: a light background (often white or a similar neutral shade) with a black border framing the design. The number "48" would also appear in black, providing strong contrast for visibility.

Meaning & Symbolism

This design serves as a tribute to the history of road travel and the evolution of American infrastructure. The road sign itself symbolizes the journey, the open road, and the spirit of exploration that has always been a core part of the United States. It represents the era of classic road trips, simple road design, and a bygone era of highway signage.

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.
