OH-188 1920 (Ohio) Shot Glass: A Glimpse into Early Roadways

This shot glass features a meticulously crafted design inspired by the OH-188 road sign as it would have appeared in the 1920s along Ohio's nascent state highway system. The artwork evokes the era of early automotive travel, when road signage was still undergoing standardization.

A Journey Back in Time

The design faithfully replicates the visual elements of a 1920s Ohio road marker. The centerpiece is the bold “188” numerals, rendered in a classic, hand-painted style. The font mirrors the era's aesthetic – simple, straightforward, and easily legible. The numeral's placement on the shot glass immediately identifies the route in question - Ohio State Route 188. This instantly allows the viewer to connect with the long history of Ohio's transportation system.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The artwork captures the essence of early highway design. The black border, a feature of many signs from that time, frames the route number providing a clear separation from the background. The design also makes use of a simple and effective presentation of the design, which reflects the practical nature of early road signage. The absence of modern standardization speaks to a simpler time, when travel was an adventure.

This shot glass design is more than just an image; it is a miniature artifact, a visual portal to a time when Ohio's roads were just beginning their transformation into the modern network we know today.

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.
