Iowa 164 1926 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design celebrates the history of Iowa's roadways, specifically Iowa Highway 164, and evokes the style of the early 20th century. The core of the design centers on the iconic road sign imagery from the era.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element of the design is a circular shield, characteristic of state route markers of the time. Within the circle, the prominent feature is the number "164," identifying the specific highway. Above the number, the word "IOWA" (or possibly "IA") is likely positioned, completing the route designation.

The inclusion of "1926" alongside the route designation is a key element that helps establish the design's context. This may represent the time when many states reorganized or renumbered their highways, and evokes the design style used during that time.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design serves as a nostalgic nod to the early days of automobile travel and the establishment of organized highway systems. The vintage road sign acts as a symbol of travel and exploration within Iowa.

The design, specifically referencing the year "1926", hints at a historical connection, referencing a by-gone era of automotive travel and route designation and the establishment of a formal highway system. It evokes a sense of history and the spirit of the open road.

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.
