N-187 1950 (Nebraska) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to the iconic N-187 Nebraska state highway road sign from 1950, a symbol of postwar progress and the standardization of road travel in the Cornhusker State. The artwork meticulously recreates the visual language of the period.

Sign Design Elements

The central element is a shield design mirroring the standardized signage of the era. The primary symbol is the prominent display of “187” in a clear, legible font, reflecting the functional purpose of the sign – to guide travelers. The “N,” signifying a Nebraska state highway, is placed strategically within the design.

Color and Contrast

The design utilizes the expected color scheme of the time: a white or yellow shield to maximize daytime visibility. The number "187" and the letter "N" are rendered in contrasting black, ensuring they stand out against the background and improving readability.

Symbolism

The design represents the evolving landscape of Nebraska's transportation infrastructure and the state's investment in providing a clear and efficient highway system. This artwork celebrates the practicality and clarity of 1950s highway signage, symbolizing a time of growth and connection across Nebraska.

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.
