Illinois 57 1950 Shot Glass: Design Description

This shot glass features a design inspired by vintage Illinois road signs, specifically those from the 1950s. The artwork directly references "Illinois 57," suggesting a connection to either Interstate 57 or Illinois Route 57, both roadways within the state. The inclusion of the "1950" element clearly establishes the design's stylistic roots in the mid-20th century, evoking a sense of nostalgia and historical significance.

Visual Elements and Symbolism

The design likely incorporates the characteristic visual elements of mid-century highway signage. This could include a bold, easily readable font, possibly in black or white against a contrasting background. If the design leans towards the Interstate 57 interpretation, the classic red, white, and blue interstate shield design might be present. Alternatively, if the design references a state route, it could employ simpler rectangular shapes with a clear numeric designation "57" and "Illinois" text.

The overall symbolism revolves around travel, the open road, and the history of transportation in Illinois. The vintage aesthetic captures a specific era, connecting the user with a time when road trips and motoring were a significant part of American life. The "57" represents the journey itself, a marker of both Interstate and state road systems, inviting memories and a sense of wanderlust.

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.
