Iowa 114 1950 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design captures the essence of the Iowa 114 state highway sign as it appeared in 1950, a tangible piece of mid-20th-century Americana. The artwork faithfully recreates the official signage style of the era, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time on the open road.

Visual Elements

The design prominently features the designation "114" rendered in bold, black lettering set against a clean, white background, a color combination mandated by Iowa in 1950 to ensure optimal visibility. The font used would be typical of highway signs from the time. The iconic "IOWA" is included in the design, and placed at the top of the sign.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design on this shot glass transcends mere aesthetics; it encapsulates a piece of Iowa's transportation history. It symbolizes the modernization of the state's highway system post-World War II, a period of expansion and improvement. The sign embodies the spirit of exploration and discovery, representing routes connecting communities and paving the way for progress. It is a miniature tribute to a pivotal moment in Iowa's history, a tangible reminder of the roads that helped shape 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.
