WIS 78 1927 (Wisconsin) Road Sign Shot Glass Design

A Slice of Wisconsin History

This shot glass design faithfully recreates the iconic WIS 78 road sign as it appeared in Wisconsin in 1927. The artwork is a direct tribute to the state's second-generation trunk highway sign, capturing the essence of early 20th-century road travel and the evolution of transportation signage.

Visual Elements: A Clear and Bold Statement

The design features a stark white square, the clean backdrop for the bold black elements. A thick black border defines the perimeter, providing a strong visual frame. At the top of the sign, the word "WISCONSIN" is prominently displayed, spelled out in full, establishing the geographic location. Centered below, the large, bold numerals "78" stand out, clearly identifying the specific highway route.

Meaning and Symbolism: Progress on the Open Road

The design represents a significant period of modernization in Wisconsin's transportation history. The shift to a clearer, more readable sign design reflects the growing importance of highways and the need for efficient navigation. This design symbolizes progress, the expanding network of roads, and the spirit of exploration and connection during the Roaring Twenties. The use of clear, bold typography and a universally understood form embodies the accessibility and straightforwardness of a modernizing Wisconsin.

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.
