Illinois 98 1950 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design inspired by vintage road signage from Illinois, specifically referencing Illinois Route 98 during the 1950s. The artwork seeks to capture the aesthetic of the era, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone time in American road travel.

Visual Elements and Representation

The central element of the design is a stylized representation of the Illinois Route 98 road sign. This includes the prominent number "98" displayed beneath the word "ILLINOIS," echoing the standard state highway marker. The fonts and overall design elements are indicative of the signage styles prevalent in the mid-20th century, like the use of a simple, bold font to ensure visibility.

The design’s choice to highlight the year "1950" further emphasizes the vintage theme. This acts as a marker for a specific period in the state's transportation history, referencing design cues such as a reflective background or embossed metal finish, popular during that era.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design, as a whole, embodies the spirit of travel and the open road. It symbolizes the historical context of Illinois highways and the evolution of road signage. The vintage aesthetic could invoke a sense of nostalgia, recalling a time when the journey itself was valued. The "1950" serves as a reminder of the historical evolution of the state highway system and evokes an era of car culture.

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.
