Iowa 118 1926 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass captures the essence of a bygone era in American road travel, specifically the early days of Iowa's state highway system. The design centers around a faithful reproduction of the original 1926 Iowa 118 road sign, a visual emblem of a time when the open road promised adventure and connectivity.

Iconic Road Sign Imagery

The artwork prominently features the classic design of a 1926 Iowa state highway marker. The familiar shape, a black number (118) set against a stark white background, is instantly recognizable. The word "IOWA" is subtly displayed above the number, identifying the state and providing the context for the route.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design of the Iowa 118 road sign embodies the spirit of early 20th-century road travel. It represents the burgeoning network of highways that linked communities, facilitated commerce, and fueled the freedom of movement. The stark, bold design conveys a sense of clarity and purpose, reflecting the era's focus on practicality and efficiency.

The inclusion of the "1926" year adds a layer of historical significance, signaling the dawn of modern road travel and the standardized route numbering system. The design is a tribute to the past, a connection to the roads that shaped the state, and a reminder of the simple beauty of early highway design.

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.
