K-253 1962 (Kansas) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A yellow Kansas highway sign with the word KANSAS and the route number 253, set in a bold, flat-vector style.

Visual Elements & Composition

Yellow fills roughly two-thirds of the design, with black taking the rest as lettering and outline. The sign uses a sunflower-shaped shield and a circular element, and the word KANSAS sits above the route number 253. Both lines are set high-contrast and centred, so the sign reads quickly. There is no shading or texture; the flat vector finish keeps the shapes hard-edged and the lettering sharp.

Meaning & Symbolism

The K in the marker identifies a Kansas state highway, distinct from national U.S. and Interstate routes, and 253 is the specific route number. The sunflower shape is the emblem most associated with Kansas road signs of this period, tying the marker to the state's identity. The 1962 date places it in mid-century American road signage, when state route markers were the everyday way drivers found their way.

Built for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the sign is meant to be read at arm's length, in the hand or across a table. The compact surface suits a bold, simple marker, and the number 253 stays easy to pick out as the glass is passed from one person to the next. It is a clean piece of Kansas road history for a glass that is made for sharing a round.

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.
