WIS 174 (Wisconsin) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Description

Visual Representation

This shot glass embodies a piece of Wisconsin history through its faithful recreation of the WIS 174 road sign. The design is a simple yet impactful representation of a bygone era in Milwaukee County's transportation system. The clean lines and bold numerals are instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with Wisconsin's highway signage.

Artwork and Elements

The primary element of the design is a white square with slightly rounded corners, mirroring the authentic shape of the original road sign. A thin, black border elegantly frames the internal artwork, providing a defined edge to the design. Centered within this square is the number "174" rendered in bold, black numerals. This numeral is the definitive identifier of the former WIS 174 highway.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design's simplicity is key to its symbolism. It signifies the directness of the original road sign, efficiently conveying vital information. The number "174" evokes a sense of local history, connecting the viewer to a specific place and time within Milwaukee's street grid. The absence of additional wording emphasizes the sign's primary function – identification. The design itself symbolizes a memory of a time and route that is no longer part of the state highway system but lives on in memories.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
