Illinois 83 1950 (Illinois) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of American road travel. The artwork directly references the signage system of Illinois in the mid-20th century, specifically around 1950. The centerpiece of the design is the unmistakable form of an "Illinois 83" route marker.

Visual Elements

The design faithfully recreates the iconic look of an Illinois state highway sign from the 1950s. The prominent display of the word "ILLINOIS" arching across the top in a bold, capitalized font is a key element. Beneath it, the large number "83" is displayed, clearly designating the specific route. The design captures the rectangular shape of the sign and likely employs a white background for the main field of the sign.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design carries significant historical and symbolic weight. It represents a piece of Americana, reminding us of a time when road trips were a staple of American culture. The "Illinois 83" marker symbolizes a specific highway and evokes a sense of place – a journey through northeastern Illinois, encompassing Cook, DuPage, and Lake Counties. The 1950s aesthetic brings to mind classic cars, simpler times, and the open road. The design is a tribute to the evolution of highway signage in Illinois and the rich history of travel in the state.

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.
