US 12 Montana 1948 Shot Glass: Design Description

This shot glass features a classic road sign design, a visual homage to the US Highway 12 marker as it would have appeared in Montana in 1948. The artwork is a direct representation of the pre-1961 US highway shield style, capturing a moment in American transportation history.

Key Design Elements

The primary element is the iconic US highway shield shape. The background is rendered in crisp white, providing a clean canvas for the essential details. A bold black border frames the entire design, giving it definition and visual weight.

At the heart of the design are the bold black numerals "12," centered within the shield. This signifies US Highway 12, a vital east-west route across Montana.

The absence of the "MONTANA" state identifier, though an option for the period, maintains a pure and classic appearance of the sign.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler era of travel. It represents a time when highway signs were utilitarian, designed for clarity and function. The sign symbolizes a connection to Montana, its vast landscapes, and the pioneering spirit of early automobile travel across the state.

The black and white contrast creates a strong visual impact, making the "12" easily discernible. The design pays tribute to the rich history of American roadways and the unique visual identity of transportation signage.

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.
