OH-5 1948 (Ohio) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic piece of Ohio roadway history: the "OH-5 1948 Ohio Road Sign" design. The artwork replicates the state route shield used in Ohio during the year 1948, a significant era for highway signage.

Design Elements

The design prominently displays the outline of the state of Ohio, immediately identifying its origin. At the top, the word "OHIO" is clearly emblazoned, anchoring the design and reiterating its state affiliation. Beneath this, the number "5" is prominently featured, signifying a specific state route: Ohio State Route 5 (SR 5). The color scheme, typically a black legend on a white field, is represented in this design.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design's primary function is to represent a historical route marker. The "OHIO 5" shield served as a directional aid for motorists traveling along SR 5. It symbolized a specific segment of Ohio's highway system, offering guidance and indicating a traveler's location within the state's road network. The design itself, based on the OMUTCD sign number M1-5 standard, is a formal recognition of a state-approved traffic control device. The 1948 design therefore signifies a specific moment in Ohio's traffic history.

The "1948" designation adds a layer of historical significance, connecting the viewer to a bygone era of highway travel. For those interested in road sign history, the design evokes an interest in older highway systems, and classic design.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
