New Mexico 72 1926 (New Mexico) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A vintage-style round marker for New Mexico State Road 72, set on yellow with a red-and-black scheme and a red Zia sun at its centre.

Visual Elements & Composition

Yellow is the dominant ground, with red and black used for the emblem and lettering. A circular shield holds the numeral 72, with STATE and ROAD set around the badge. The Zia sun is rendered in red and placed as the emblem, and black supplies the outlines and figures. The composition is simple and centred, and the flat vector finish gives it the bold, direct look of an early roadside sign.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Zia sun is the symbol taken from the New Mexico flag, and its place on a highway marker ties the road to the state's heritage. The 1926 date falls in the years when U.S. route numbering was being formalised and New Mexico began putting numbered road signs on its roads. Early state markers of this kind used the red-and-black-on-yellow scheme, which set them apart from later designs. State Road 72 runs through northeastern New Mexico, and this marker recalls the first generation of signs that guided drivers along it.

Shaped for the Glass

A shot glass is small and is held close, so the badge is taken in at near range. The yellow field and the bold numeral read clearly at this size, and the red Zia stands out as the glass is turned in the hand. It is an early road sign shrunk to a close, personal view.

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.
