I-80 IA 1957 (Iowa) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a nostalgic design echoing the original Interstate 80 (I-80) road signs used in Iowa from the late 1950s until the early 1970s. The artwork pays homage to a pivotal era in American highway history.

Visual Elements

The design faithfully replicates the iconic shield shape, a universally recognized symbol of the Interstate Highway System. It adheres to the original color scheme, with a bold red band at the top, a rich blue central panel, and stark white numerals and lettering. The word "INTERSTATE" arches across the top in white, setting the stage for the state identification.

The state abbreviation, "IOWA," is prominently displayed in the blue field, clearly identifying the geographical focus. The route number, "80," is rendered in a clean, easily readable white font within the central shield, signifying the specific highway.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a bygone era of American road travel and infrastructure. The Interstate shield symbolizes connectivity and progress, linking states and fostering national unity. The colors themselves hold symbolic weight: the red can represent boldness and action, the blue often signifies reliability and stability, and the white stands for clarity and purity.

The inclusion of "IOWA" within the design grounds the visual elements, linking the broader Interstate system to a specific state and its unique historical context. The β€œ80” represents the road itself, a physical and symbolic pathway through the state.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
