Illinois 83 1926 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to a hypothetical "Illinois 83" road sign from 1926, embracing the historical nuances of Illinois's early highway system. The design cleverly acknowledges the absence of a confirmed "Illinois 83" route marker from that year, drawing inspiration instead from the documented existence of auxiliary routes like "83A."

Visual Elements & Symbolism

The artwork, informed by historical research, presents a theoretical representation. It evokes the spirit of a 1926-era Illinois route marker, reflecting the design conventions of the period: simple, clear, and functional. A possible design would feature the number "83," boldly displayed on a background, potentially with "ILLINOIS" or "ILL." above or integrated within the design. This straightforward approach reflects the pragmatism of early road signage, prioritising readability and ease of recognition for travelers.

The design, while hypothetical, carries significant meaning. It symbolizes the evolution of Illinois's road network, the shift from the State Bond Issue (SBI) system to the modern numbered route system. It subtly celebrates the history of Illinois's highways, acknowledging a time before the officially established IL 83. The design is a conversation starter for the history of Illinois roads.

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.
