Illinois 89A Road Sign Shot Glass

This shot glass captures the essence of a bygone era in Illinois road travel. The design evokes the classic look of an Illinois state highway sign from the 1920s through the 1950s.

Design Elements

The artwork faithfully replicates the historical road sign format. A clean white rectangle forms the background, bordered by a sharp black outline. The prominent black numerals "89A" are centrally positioned, instantly conveying the route designation. Above the number, the word "ILLINOIS" is printed in a bold, capitalized font, solidifying the state identity.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a piece of Illinois history, specifically the system of state highways that once navigated the state. The "89A" designation itself signifies a spur or alternate route of the main IL 89, indicating a branching path for travelers. The sign’s presence suggests a simpler time of road travel, a direct marker pointing toward a known destination or providing an alternative route.

The visual simplicity – the white background, black border, and basic font – speaks to the straightforward nature of early road signage, designed for clear and quick recognition while driving. This shot glass's design acts as a tangible nod to the state's transportation heritage.

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.
