Iowa 161 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design prominently features the iconic imagery of the Iowa 161 highway marker, instantly recognizable to those familiar with Iowa's road system. The design directly replicates the official signage used by the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT).

Visual Representation

The artwork centers around a clear, bold representation of the "Iowa 161" route marker. The design adheres closely to the standard format: a white circle (or distinctive shape, depending on the historical context) containing the number "161" in a clear, easy-to-read font. This central element is typically set against a black or dark background, ensuring high contrast and visibility.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design’s symbolism is straightforward: it signifies the presence of, or reference to, Iowa Highway 161. While the route itself may have undergone changes throughout history, the sign's graphic serves as a direct visual identifier. It represents a connection to Iowa's transportation network and a nod to a specific designated route.

The inclusion of the route number, "161," offers a sense of place and identity, evoking memories for those who have traveled on or encountered this particular Iowa highway. The design also subtly acknowledges the history of the route, as the number has been reused for different roads over time within the Iowa system.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — 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.

They’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 (≈44.3 ml) — 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 — 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 — 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 (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
