WIS 177 (Wisconsin) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Description

This shot glass pays homage to the now-defunct Wisconsin State Trunk Highway 177, a short but historically significant road in Grant County. The artwork meticulously recreates the iconic WIS 177 road sign, a familiar sight for travelers accessing the Mississippi River ferry crossing in the mid-20th century.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The design adheres precisely to the original road sign's specifications. The background is a clean, crisp white, providing a stark contrast that makes the central element immediately visible. Encasing this white expanse is a thin, elegant black border, mirroring the design of the actual road sign.

Represented Symbolism

The focal point of the design is the number "177" rendered in bold, black numerals. Centered within the white square, the number represents the specific highway. The simple, unadorned design is typical of state highway signage, emphasizing clear communication and functionality.

The design, while straightforward, carries a layer of nostalgia. It serves as a visual reminder of a bygone era when ferry crossings were essential for travel and small state highways, like WIS 177, played a crucial role in the transportation network. It is a symbol of a route to a ferry crossing.

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.
