WIS 81 1927 (Wisconsin) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic design, directly inspired by the Wisconsin highway markers of 1927. The visual elements are a direct representation of the state's second-generation trunk highway signage, a pivotal shift towards clearer and more recognizable road markings.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The design is a faithful reproduction of the WIS 81 sign used in Wisconsin during 1927. The shape is a clean, crisp square, providing a structured and easily identifiable form. A bold, thick black outline frames the design, creating a strong visual border and enhancing the overall visibility.

The background of the square is rendered in a bright white, offering excellent contrast against the dark elements. Across the top of the square, the word "WISCONSIN" is prominently displayed in a bold, readable font, fully spelling out the state's name, replacing the earlier abbreviation.

Centered beneath the "WISCONSIN" inscription, the number "81" is presented in large, impactful, black numerals. This central number clearly indicates the specific highway designation. The boldness of the numerals and the use of black provide exceptional legibility and instant recognition.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design embodies a sense of history and nostalgia. It symbolizes a time when roadways were evolving and the need for clear communication on the open road was paramount. It's a tribute to the evolution of transportation infrastructure and the state of Wisconsin's role in advancing road sign design.

The design pays homage to the era when roads were experiencing rapid growth. The square shape, the bold lettering, and the color scheme are all designed for maximum visibility, reflecting the purpose of the sign: to ensure drivers can easily and quickly identify their location and route.

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.
