WIS 00 1949 template (Wisconsin) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This shot glass carries the Wisconsin state highway shield in its 1949 form, a utilitarian route marker built on a rounded rectangle and a pointed base.

Visual Elements & Composition

The design is a flat, two-tone graphic, with white covering about four-fifths of the field and black taking the rest. The shield is built from a rectangle set over a trapezoidal base, giving it a sturdy, grounded silhouette. The letters WIS sit across the top of the shield, with the route number 00 below. Nothing is added beyond the shape and the type, so the geometry and the numerals do all of the work. The result is clean and direct, the way a road sign needs to be.

Meaning & Symbolism

The shield marks a route in the Wisconsin state highway system, and its shape is what tells a driver that the road is a numbered state route. The 1949 template belongs to the postwar years, when the state was expanding and standardising its roads for a growing number of motorists. The design stands for that shift toward uniform signage, where a driver could recognise a state route at a glance regardless of the road. It is a compact emblem of regional transport history.

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 the roadside. The bold letters and large numerals stay clear at that size, and the white field gives the black outline strong contrast through the glass. The design suits barware that people pick up, turn over and talk about 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.
