K-16 1962 (Kansas) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A bold, flat-vector road marker from the Kansas highway system, built around the number 16 in a scalloped rosette badge.

Visual Elements & Composition

Golden yellow fills most of the surface, with black used for the lettering and outline. The composition is simple and centred: a rounded square and a scalloped rosette sit in the middle, carrying the words KANSAS and 16 in clean, heavy type. Nothing competes with the numerals, so the marker reads at a glance, the way a roadside sign is meant to.

Meaning & Symbolism

The design reproduces a State Highway K-16 route shield of the kind used across Kansas around 1962. K-16 runs east to west through the northeast of the state, and its shield belongs to the standardised route-marking system that gave drivers one consistent visual language from county to county. Mid-century signs like this are now prized as small pieces of American transportation history.

Made for the Glass in Your Hand

A shot glass is small and held close, so the badge becomes a detail to look at between rounds rather than a sign seen from a distance. Printed on a 1.5oz glass, the rosette and bold numerals turn a stretch of Kansas highway into something you can hold, pass across the bar, and talk about.

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.
