K-226 (Kansas) Road Sign Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to the short-lived Kansas State Highway K-226, a forgotten piece of Wichita's transportation history. The artwork captures the essence of the highway's signage during its operational years, offering a nostalgic nod to a bygone era of Kansas road travel.

The Design Elements

The primary visual element is a faithful recreation of the K-226 road sign. The design adheres to the standard Kansas highway shield shape prevalent in the 1960s and 70s. The iconic shield, rendered with precision, contains the highway designation "K-226" presented in a clear, easy-to-read font. The colors employed, while details are scarce, likely reflected the standard Kansas highway sign color scheme, offering a sense of authenticity.

Meaning and Symbolism

The presence of the K-226 sign on this shot glass serves as a symbolic marker of a specific time and place. It evokes the spirit of a connection now lost to time, representing the function K-226 provided, a vital link between US 81 and I-235. The design, therefore, carries a subtle resonance, transforming an object of recreation into a conversation piece about history, routes, and a vanished piece of Kansas's road network.

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.
