Iowa 16 1926 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design inspired by the iconic 1926 road signs of Iowa Highway 16. The artwork is a faithful reproduction of the original state route marker, capturing the essence of early 20th-century highway design.

Design Elements and Representation

The design prominently displays the word "IOWA" arched across the top, mirroring the familiar layout of the original signs. Centered below, a bold "16" is the focus, representing the specific highway designation. This number stands out, offering instant recognition of the route.

The circular shape of the artwork replicates the standard form of the 1926 Iowa highway signs. This shape was chosen for its distinctiveness and ease of visibility from the road, ensuring quick and clear identification for drivers.

Historical Significance and Meaning

The design pays homage to a pivotal moment in transportation history. The 1926 signs marked a move toward a more organized and standardized highway system, a key element in the development of modern road travel. The inclusion of the "IOWA" at the top ties the design specifically to the state, and a particular era.

The shot glass design is a visual nod to a time when travel was evolving, and road signs were becoming essential tools for navigation and regional connectivity. It represents the spirit of exploration and the growth of infrastructure in early 20th-century America.

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.
