WIS 31 1927 (Wisconsin) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces a 1927 Wisconsin state highway marker for Route 31, one of the earliest shield-style route signs the state adopted.

Visual Elements & Composition

The artwork is a flat, two-tone graphic in pure black and white. A white field fills most of the frame, and a thick black outline traces the edge of a cut-out shield shape modelled on the U.S. Highway shield. The small letters "WIS" sit near the top, marking the state jurisdiction. Below them, the large, bold black numerals "31" are centred and dominate the composition, so the route number reads clearly even at a glance.

Meaning & Symbolism

The sign marks a turning point in Wisconsin's road history. Earlier state markers from 1918 to 1926 were rectangular and relied on text. The 1927 shield format replaced them and arrived the same year the U.S. Highway System reached the state. Route 31 belonged to the original trunk highway grid and was later renumbered and realigned. Today it runs north and south from Pleasant Prairie through Racine to Greenfield. The shield stands for the standardisation of American roads and for the rapid growth of motor travel that made clear, consistent route signs necessary.

Built for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the design is meant to be seen at arm's length rather than across a room. The white field and heavy black numerals keep the shield readable on a curved surface, and the bold outline gives the route number a clean, graphic presence when the glass sits on a bar or shelf. It is a fitting piece for anyone who collects road memorabilia or enjoys a small reminder of Wisconsin's highway history.

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.
