SD 54 1950 (South Dakota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design

This shot glass features a design inspired by the classic South Dakota Highway 54 road sign as it would have appeared in the 1950s. The artwork pays homage to the distinctive signage conventions of the era, offering a nostalgic glimpse into South Dakota's highway history.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element of the design is a stylized representation of the South Dakota state shape. Within the state's outline, the route number, "54," is prominently displayed in a clear and easy-to-read font, a key characteristic of the period's road signage. The artwork replicates the color scheme and general aesthetic of the original highway markers, capturing the look and feel of a bygone era in American road travel.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design speaks to the history of South Dakota's transportation network. The "54" represents a specific route within the state, and the state shape itself acts as a marker of place, grounding the route within the geographical boundaries of South Dakota. The design's simplicity and clean lines reflects the pragmatic, clear, and utilitarian style of signage common in the mid-20th century, evoking a sense of time and place.

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.
