Illinois 51 1926 (Illinois) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design celebrates the history of U.S. Route 51 in Illinois, specifically referencing the year 1926, when the U.S. Highway System was established.

Design Elements

The artwork features a classic representation of a 1926-era Illinois highway marker. The design embodies the iconic "US shield" form, a symbol of American roadways and cross-country travel. The color palette typically consists of a white or off-white background, framed by a black border, and black lettering.

Artwork Details

The design prominently displays "ILLINOIS" at the top (or incorporated into the design), followed by "U.S." and the number "51". The font used would be characteristic of the era – a simpler, less refined style reflecting the earliest days of highway signage. This style represents the foundational moment for the U.S. Highway System.

Meaning and Symbolism

The artwork represents a piece of American history, evoking nostalgia for the golden age of road trips and the early days of automobile travel. The "1926" designation signifies authenticity and a connection to the original highway system. The design is a tribute to the legacy of U.S. Route 51 in Illinois and the enduring allure of the open road.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
