WIS 151 (1919) (Wisconsin) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design that pays homage to the very first road signs used on Wisconsin State Trunk Highway 151, specifically from 1919. The artwork directly reflects the original design standards established when the Wisconsin State Trunk Highway system was first implemented.

Visual Elements

The design adheres to the minimalist aesthetic of early road signage. The artwork is characterized by its simple geometry and bold color contrast. The background is a stark white, meant to mirror the painted sheet metal of the time, and the primary legend is rendered in a deep black.

Layout and Typography

The design is organized in a clear, straightforward manner. At the top, the abbreviation "WIS" stands for Wisconsin, reflecting the state's role in the infrastructure project. Below, centered, is the number "151" in large, bold numerals. The boldness and clarity of the numbers ensure immediate recognizability, even from a distance. The overall layout is clean and symmetrical, a testament to the efficient design principles employed in early road signage.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a pivotal moment in Wisconsin history and the development of the state's transportation network. It symbolizes the pioneering spirit of the era and the establishment of a standardized system for identifying and navigating state highways. The simple yet impactful design reflects the practical nature of the era, focusing on clear communication and functionality above all else. This design serves as a retro reminder of the history of roadways and their connection to local Wisconsin lore.

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.
