WIS 00 1938 template (Wisconsin) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This shot glass reproduces Wisconsin's 1938 state trunk highway marker, a redesign that swapped the older triangular pennant for a rounded rectangle set on a triangle.

Visual Elements & Composition

The sign is built from two stacked shapes in flat black and white. A rounded-corner rectangle sits on top of a downward-pointing triangle, forming a sturdy shield. The WIS legend runs across the upper band in bold capitals, and the route number 00 fills the lower block, set large so it can be read quickly. White covers well over half the field, with black used for the outline and lettering. There is no ornament or texture, so the geometry and type carry the whole design.

Meaning & Symbolism

The 1938 marker marks a turning point in how Wisconsin signed its highways. Larger numerals and a clearer legend meant drivers could identify a route at speed, and the shape was easier to read than the earlier triangle. The sign stands for a state growing its road network in the years before the Second World War, when motoring was becoming routine rather than novel. It is a compact record of how regional transport design moved toward clarity and legibility in the late 1930s.

Made for a Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and is usually held close, so this shield is seen at hand's length rather than from a distance. The large numerals and the heavy top band stay clear at that size, and the rectangle-on-triangle shape reads as one solid mark when the glass is lifted to the light. It is a design that rewards a closer look, which suits barware that gets passed around between rounds.

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.
