WIS 90 (1949) Road Sign Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features the classic design of the WIS 90 road sign as it appeared in Wisconsin in 1949. The design is a stark representation of the state's highway system at the time, stripped down to its essential visual elements.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The artwork is straightforward and bold. The primary element is a plain white square, a clean canvas representing the simplicity of the pre-Interstate era. Encircling the white square is a thin, elegant black border, which provides definition and visual contrast.

Centered on the white background is the number "90", rendered in a large, bold, black typeface. This prominent number is the sole identifier, immediately conveying the highway's designation. The font is deliberately simple and clear, emphasizing legibility at a glance, much like a road sign needs to be. The color choice, black on white, creates a high-contrast design, ensuring the number is easily discernible.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a specific point in Wisconsin's transportation history. It encapsulates the simplicity of the state’s highway system prior to the introduction of the Interstate system. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when road travel was becoming increasingly accessible. The sign’s minimal design reflects the directness and efficiency of the road network it identifies. It symbolizes the state’s commitment to providing easy-to-understand highway signage.

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.
