SD 38A (South Dakota) Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass features a design that evokes the spirit of South Dakota's historical highway system. The artwork prominently showcases the iconic "SD 38A" designation, a symbol of a former alternate route within the state.

Visual Elements and Representation

The design faithfully replicates the look of an old South Dakota highway sign. It centers on the outline of the state of South Dakota itself, rendered in a detailed and instantly recognizable form. Within the state's boundaries, the route designation "38A" is displayed.

The color palette is a key element of the design. The background of the sign is a classic green, mimicking the traditional color used on many state highway signs. The route number "38A" is rendered in a bold black font, ensuring high visibility and legibility.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design of the shot glass is a tribute to the history of South Dakota's roadways. The "38A" designation represents a specific, now-defunct segment of the state's highway network. The inclusion of the state's map outline provides a strong sense of place and regional pride.

By incorporating these elements, the design invites a sense of nostalgia for a past era in South Dakota's transportation history, reminding viewers of the evolution of the state's infrastructure.

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.
