Illinois 9 1950 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic piece of Illinois highway history: the design of the 1950s Illinois Route 9 road sign. The artwork replicates the simple, bold look of these mid-century markers, a design element once familiar to anyone traveling across the state.

Visual Elements

The design faithfully recreates the iconic look of the period. A square shape, bordered in black, provides the foundation. The top portion of the design proudly displays "ILLINOIS" in bold, black, capital letters, mimicking the typography of the era. Centered below is the number "9" also rendered in a clear, block-style font, similar to the typefaces used on road signage of the time. The background is a stark white, contrasting sharply with the black lettering and border, ensuring maximum visibility.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design is more than just a representation of a number; it's a visual tribute to the history of Illinois and the evolution of its transportation infrastructure. It embodies a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time in American highway design. The black-and-white color scheme evokes a sense of classic Americana. The artwork serves as a miniature monument to a design standard that played a crucial role in navigating the state for decades, reminding us of the journeys taken and the places connected by Illinois Route 9.

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.
