Iowa 156 1926 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design inspired by the iconic road signs of Iowa, specifically referencing the state's highway system in the year 1926. The artwork is a direct nod to the early days of automobile travel and the establishment of a standardized highway system in the state.

Design Elements

The central element of the design is a white circle, representing the classic circular route marker adopted by Iowa in 1926. This shape was a departure from previous signage and helped establish a clear, recognizable symbol for state highways. Within the circle, the word "IOWA" is prominently displayed at the top, immediately identifying the state of origin. Beneath, the number "156" is boldly presented, signifying the specific route the sign represents. This simple yet effective layout encapsulates the essential information needed by travelers.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design's symbolism stems from its historical context. The 1926 circular sign style represents a pivotal moment in Iowa's transportation history, as the state transitioned to a modern, interconnected highway network. The design evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time in American travel, when road trips were a defining aspect of the country's cultural identity. By featuring the "156" route, the shot glass honors a specific pathway while reflecting the broader history of road infrastructure in Iowa. It represents the freedom of the open road and the spirit of exploration.

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.
