Iowa 100 1926 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to the iconic Iowa 100 road sign, a piece of Iowa's rich transportation history. The artwork meticulously recreates the visual elements of the original 1926 highway sign, capturing the essence of early 20th-century road travel in the state.

Design Elements

The design prominently features the word "IOWA" arched elegantly at the top, echoing the signage of the era. Centered beneath it, the bold number "100" signifies the specific highway route. This straightforward layout emphasizes clarity and easy recognition, essential qualities for road signs intended to be quickly understood by passing motorists.

Color and Form

The color scheme typically employs black text against a crisp white background, a common characteristic of vintage Iowa highway signage. This high-contrast combination ensures optimal readability, even in various lighting conditions. The use of a simple yet effective circular or shield-like shape adds to the overall aesthetic, reminiscent of the vintage signs that guided motorists throughout Iowa.

Meaning and Symbolism

The Iowa 100 sign design symbolizes the standardization of travel, the development of Iowa's infrastructure, and the pioneering spirit of early automobile culture. Owning this design represents a connection to the past, reminding us of the era when roads were newly paved, and the open road beckoned with adventure. It's a tribute to the roots of Iowa's transportation network, marking a time when travel was evolving and changing the very landscape of the state.

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.
