Iowa 158 1926 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design evokes the spirit of Iowa's early highway system, specifically referencing a period when such a route number wouldn't have actually existed. The artwork cleverly blends historical design elements with a touch of creative license.

Visual Representation

The central element of the design is a circular road sign, rendered in the classic black and white color scheme typical of Iowa highway markers in the 1920s. At the top, the word "Iowa" is prominently displayed in a bold, capitalized font, signifying the state's ownership and identification of the road.

Below the "Iowa" inscription, the number "158" is featured. This number, though historically inaccurate for the 1926 era, gives the design its unique character. The circular format and font of the numbers reflect the style of the period, providing a sense of authenticity despite the time discrepancy.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design's primary symbolism revolves around nostalgia and historical intrigue. It represents a potential "what-if" scenario, a glimpse into what might have been, capturing the imagination. The stylized elements also evoke feelings of Americana and the freedom of the open road, recalling a time when the highway system was rapidly expanding and shaping the landscape of the nation.

The contrast between the historical style and the fictional existence of "Iowa 158" creates a compelling visual narrative that sparks curiosity and invites speculation about Iowa's road network.

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.
