WIS 73 1919 (Wisconsin) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design captures the essence of early Wisconsin highway history. It's a tribute to the pioneering spirit of standardized road signage, specifically the "1919" era of the Wisconsin State Trunk Highway System.

Visual Elements and Representation

The design prominently features an inverted triangle, the iconic shape of the earliest Wisconsin highway markers. This shape, pointing downwards, signifies the direction of travel and was characteristic of the original signs erected in 1918, making Wisconsin the first in the world to adopt an official numbered highway signage system.

Within the triangle, the number "73" is displayed, representing Wisconsin Highway 73 (WIS 73), a north-south route through the state. This numerical designation is key to identifying the specific route and is a symbol of the organized approach to navigation that the state implemented.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design, as a whole, embodies a sense of nostalgia and historical significance. It harkens back to a simpler time, when road signs were hand-made and the concept of a standardized highway system was novel. The 1919 style represents the beginning of organized travel across Wisconsin, transforming how people navigated and experienced the state. This shot glass is a miniature monument to that pivotal era.

The design, minimalist yet bold, celebrates the genesis of a crucial infrastructure that has shaped modern life. It’s a visual reminder of the evolution of the road, and the initial steps taken to streamline transportation.

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.
