OH-183 1948 (Ohio) Shot Glass - Design Description

A Slice of History in Black and White

This shot glass embodies the straightforward functionality of late 1940s road signage, offering a stark yet compelling design. It’s a nostalgic nod to a time when form followed function, a period just before the iconic shield-shaped highway markers of Ohio became commonplace.

The Blueprint of a Bygone Era

The artwork replicates the iconic 1948 OH-183 road sign. A bold, black border encases the design. Within this frame, the visual language is simple but clear. At the top, the word "OHIO" is presented in crisp, block lettering. Centered prominently below, the route number "183" is displayed in bold, black numerals.

Symbolism of Simplicity

The design speaks of a different era. The black-on-white contrast signifies a dedication to clarity and purpose. The absence of embellishment is a statement in itself, representing a time of post-war recovery and a focus on practical solutions. The design serves as a reminder of an evolving transportation infrastructure and the changing aesthetic of American roads.

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.
