Illinois 9 1926 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Shot Glass: Design Description

Design Overview

This shot glass showcases a design inspired by the vintage highway markers of Illinois, specifically those used for Illinois Route 9 (IL 9) during the 1920s. The artwork directly references the historical signage conventions of the era, offering a visual connection to early 20th-century road travel and state highway systems.

Visual Elements

The core of the design is a stylized representation of an Illinois route marker. This typically features a prominent number "9," indicating the specific highway route. The "1926" date is integrated, reflecting the vintage design era of the sign. The fonts and overall shield shape adhere to the historical signage standards.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of American road travel. It symbolizes the establishment of the highway system and the standardization of road signage. The artwork acts as a small-scale tribute to the history of Illinois highways and the cultural significance of road travel. The presence of the "1926" date links to the year the U.S. Highway system was designated.

The use of the road sign's design on the glass represents a collector's item or a decorative piece related to historical highway culture.

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.
