SD 40A 1960 (South Dakota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Overview

This shot glass features a design inspired by the South Dakota Highway 40A road signs from the 1960s. The artwork pays homage to the era's standardized highway signage conventions, specifically focusing on the route marker style prevalent at the time.

Signage Representation

The central element of the design is the SD 40A route designation, boldly displayed within the outline of the state of South Dakota. This reflects the standard practice of the period, where state highway markers employed the state's shape to provide an immediate geographical context for the route number. The choice of font and the overall layout are faithful to the visual characteristics of road signs from the 1960s.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design carries the symbolism of South Dakota’s infrastructure, referencing an important access point to the Badlands National Park. The road sign design evokes the nostalgia of road trips, the open road, and the exploration of the American landscape. It serves as a visual reminder of the state's historical road system and a nod to a bygone era of highway travel.

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.
