Iowa 162 1926 (Iowa) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design evokes the spirit of early Iowa roadways, blending historical elements with a touch of artistic license. The central focus is the iconic circular road sign design that Iowa adopted in 1926 for its state highways.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The artwork features a classic circular shield, a hallmark of Iowa's highway system from the mid-1920s onwards. Within the circle, the word "IOWA" arches across the top in a bold, sans-serif font, reflecting the signage of the era. The number "162" is prominently displayed in the bottom portion of the circle, in a similarly clear and readable font, directly below “IOWA.” The color palette is likely a crisp black and white, consistent with the original signage, creating a simple, eye-catching visual.

Meaning and Symbolism

The "1926" designation alongside "Iowa 162" highlights the historical context. While Iowa Highway 162 itself wasn't established until 1930, the "1926" underscores the historical style. The overall design symbolizes Iowa's rich history, particularly the development of its transportation infrastructure. The sign represents the vast network of roads connecting Iowa's towns and cities.

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.
