WIS 52 1919 (Wisconsin) Shot Glass

This shot glass features a striking piece of Wisconsin history: the original 1919 design of the WIS 52 state highway marker. The artwork faithfully replicates the simplicity and directness of the first-generation Wisconsin trunk highway signage.

Design Elements

The design adheres to the classic black-on-white color scheme of the era. The primary visual element is a square, representing the foundational shape of the original sign. Centered within this square is the bold numeral "52," rendered in black, signifying the specific highway it designates.

Above the number, the abbreviation "WIS" (for Wisconsin) sits proudly, completing the sign’s essential information. This minimalist approach was a hallmark of early highway markers, prioritizing clarity and ease of recognition for travelers.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design embodies the dawn of Wisconsin's organized highway system. It symbolizes the state's early efforts to establish a network of roads and identify them with clear, standardized signage. The design speaks to a time of innovation and growth, when the state was actively building and improving its infrastructure.

The stark contrast of black lettering on a white background speaks of a directness and clear communication, reflecting the era's focus on functionality. More than just a road sign, it's a visual record of Wisconsin's past and a reminder of the state’s commitment to facilitating travel and connecting communities.

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.
