Iowa 101 (1926) Road Sign Design

This shot glass features a design inspired by the iconic Iowa Highway 101 road signs from 1926. This year marks a significant period, as it aligns with the initial implementation of the U.S. Numbered Highway System, representing a pivotal moment in American transportation history.

Visual Elements

The artwork replicates the distinctive circular shield shape of the original sign. Centered within this shield, the design proudly displays the route number "101". At the top is "IOWA", clearly indicating the sign's origin within the state's highway system.

Meaning and Symbolism

The "101" designation itself signifies a specific route within the Iowa highway system, connecting communities and facilitating travel across the state. The choice of a circular shield reflects the standardization efforts of the era, mirroring the design adopted by the U.S. Numbered Highway System. These signs represent a commitment to standardized routes, making it easier for travelers to navigate and explore the growing network of roads across the nation.

The design, with its simple black text on a white background, evokes a sense of historical authenticity, recalling the era of early automotive travel and the development of modern roadways. It symbolizes a commitment to building a cohesive transportation network that connected communities and fostered economic growth.

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.
