WIS County BD (Wisconsin) Road Sign Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass celebrates a unique element of Wisconsin's transportation history: the County Trunk Highway (CTH) system. The design is a direct visual representation of the iconic road signs that guide travelers across the state.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The artwork faithfully recreates the classic WIS County BD road sign. The design features a bold, centered "BD" in stark black capital letters, immediately recognizable to anyone familiar with Wisconsin's roadways. This lettering is set against a vibrant yellow background, mimicking the official sign's color and ensuring high visibility. The entire design is enclosed within a thick, black pentagonal border, perfectly replicating the distinct shape of Wisconsin's county highway markers.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a specific route: County Highway BD in Dane County, Wisconsin, located near Madison. The shot glass serves as a miniature tribute to this local thoroughfare, and more broadly, to the unique lettering system adopted by Wisconsin in the 1930s. The choice of letters, instead of numbers, was made to avoid confusion, giving Wisconsin's county highways a distinct identity. The bold lettering and shape signify a commitment to clear wayfinding and local identity. The use of “BD” is a visual celebration of this distinct Wisconsin road sign system.

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.
