US 20 Montana 1948 (Road Sign) Shot Glass: Design Description

This shot glass features a classic representation of a US 20 highway marker as it would have appeared in Montana in 1948. The design pays homage to the post-World War II standardization of US highway shields, offering a glimpse into the past of American road travel.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element is the iconic US highway shield, rendered in its historic form. The primary color is a crisp white, providing a clean and easily recognizable background. Encircling the shield is a bold black border, defining its shape and adding contrast.

The numerals “20,” in a bold black font, are centered within the shield. This signifies US Highway 20, a major cross-state route through southern Montana, connecting to Idaho and Yellowstone National Park, linking communities and supporting national travel.

The design may optionally include "MONTANA" in black lettering at the top of the shield, affirming the sign's location and adding authenticity to the design. This reinforces the historical accuracy of the piece, referencing a period of transition in highway signage.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design symbolizes a journey through time and space. The US highway shield represents the open road and the freedom of travel, a core element of the American experience. The year 1948 marks a period of significant growth and change in the United States, and this sign’s design reflects that, representing post-war expansion and the rise of car culture.

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.
