WIS 48 1919 (Wisconsin) Shot Glass: Design Overview

This shot glass design pays homage to the very beginnings of Wisconsin's state highway system, specifically the iconic WIS 48 route as it appeared in 1919. The artwork meticulously recreates the look and feel of the original road sign, a relic of early automotive travel and state-led infrastructure.

Visual Representation

The design faithfully replicates the simple, yet impactful, aesthetics of the 1919 WIS 48 sign. It features a stark black-and-white color scheme, reflective of the painted metal signs of the era. The form is square, mirroring the original shape, and anchoring its presence on any surface.

Layout and Symbolism

At the top, the abbreviation "WIS" stands out, identifying the state origin of the route. This is a subtle declaration of state pride and responsibility for transportation. Below, the bold numeral "48" dominates the center, a simple and clear communication of the road's identity and its place in the network.

The design, minimalist by modern standards, speaks volumes about a time when standardization was just beginning, and clarity of information was paramount. It encapsulates the spirit of early automobile travel, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a simpler era of exploration and discovery across the Wisconsin landscape.

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.
