Illinois 89 1950 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design that evokes a piece of Illinois history: the Illinois Route 89 highway marker as it likely appeared around 1950. The artwork directly references the classic road signs of the era.

Visual Elements

The design prominently displays the number "89" in a bold, dark font. Above the number, the word "ILLINOIS" is placed, reflecting the original state highway sign design. This arrangement is enclosed by a simple border, a common element in 1950s signage.

The color scheme likely consists of dark numerals on a light background. This is a typical characteristic of these vintage signs, and ensures the numbers are easily readable. The design aims to capture the look of the reflective sheeting often used on roadways.

Representation and Symbolism

The design is a direct representation of a historic road marker. It signifies a specific route—Illinois Route 89— and the style of highway signage that was common in the mid-20th century. It embodies a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time in road travel.

The "1950" element in the title emphasizes the vintage aspect of the design, which provides the viewer with historical context. The sign is a visual reference to a route, and the implied era it was in use.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — 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 (≈44.3 ml) — 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 — 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 — 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 (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
