New Mexico 40 1926 (New Mexico) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This flat vector piece puts a circular road shield front and centre, the number 40 set boldly inside a yellow ring that reads as a road sign from the state's early highway years.

Visual Elements & Composition

Yellow dominates the design, filling most of the surface, with red and black used as sharp accents. The composition is built around a single round badge, with the word STATE and the word ROAD set above and below the numerals 40. A Zia sun symbol sits alongside the shield, its simple radiating forms giving the layout a clear centre of balance.

Meaning & Symbolism

State Road 40 was established in the 1920s, running from Weed east to Dunken, before it was removed from the state highway system by the early 1930s. The route was later reused for a short stretch in the 1950s and was renumbered NM 19 by 1970 to avoid confusion with Interstate 40. The Zia sun, a long-standing emblem of New Mexico, anchors the artwork to the state's identity, so the shield speaks both to a single road and to the wider region it served.

Where the Badge Meets the Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the round shield lands right in the line of sight as the glass is lifted. The bold yellow and the compact numerals read cleanly at that distance, turning each pour into a brief look at a highway that changed hands more than once.

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.
