N-48 1950 (Nebraska) Shot Glass Design

This design celebrates the rich history of Nebraska's highway system, specifically the 1950 update to the N-48 route. The artwork directly references the road signs of the era, offering a glimpse into mid-century American road travel.

Visual Representation

The core of the design is a faithful recreation of the 1950s N-48 Nebraska road sign. The classic shield shape, typical of the era, forms the foundation. Within the shield, the prominent number "48" is displayed, clearly indicating the route designation. Above the number is the letter "N", signifying it as a Nebraska state highway.

The color scheme adheres to the standards of the time, likely featuring a white or yellow shield with crisp black lettering. The font style mirrors the standardized typography used in Nebraska's highway system, ensuring legibility and evoking the era's aesthetic.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design serves as a nostalgic tribute to a pivotal period in Nebraska's transportation history. It symbolizes the modernization and standardization efforts undertaken after World War II, improving the wayfinders and efficiency of travel across the state. The N-48 road sign, as depicted, represents the connectivity between towns and regions, and the promise of accessible roadways.

More than a simple number, the "48" evokes the spirit of exploration and the open road. The design offers a tangible connection to a bygone era of road trips and Americana, transporting the viewer back to the time when Nebraska's highways were newly upgraded and ready for exploration.

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.
