Iowa 157 1926 (Iowa) Shot Glass Design

The design of this shot glass evokes a sense of nostalgia, drawing inspiration from the early days of Iowa's highway system. The artwork is a deliberate nod to a bygone era.

Visual Elements

The central element is a circular route marker, mimicking the style Iowa adopted around 1926. This signifies the state's efforts to standardize its highway identification. At the top, the word "IOWA" is proudly displayed in a classic font, identifying the geographic location.

Beneath "IOWA" is the number "157," rendered in a clean, legible font. This number represents the specific highway, even though the road itself wasn't designated until later. The inclusion of the year "1926" acts as a historical reference point, even if the number's actual deployment would have happened later.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design's key symbolism lies in its blend of historical accuracy and creative interpretation. The circular form of the road sign design is symbolic of Iowa's infrastructure; this design represents the state's ongoing efforts to connect its communities, even though the number "157" wasn't assigned at this time. The design can be interpreted as a celebration of Iowa's heritage and a playful reminder of the evolution of the state's transportation infrastructure.

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.
