Iowa 172 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design celebrates the history of Iowa Highway 172, a former state route now residing in the annals of Iowa's transportation history. The artwork centers around the visual identity of the decommissioned highway, a tangible representation of a past state-maintained connection.

Visual Elements & Meaning

The design prominently features a stylized rendering of an old-fashioned Iowa road sign bearing the "IA 172" designation. The sign serves as the central visual element, instantly communicating the road's identity and historical significance. The typography, colors, and overall aesthetic likely mirror the typical road signs used during the period when IA 172 was an active state highway, creating a sense of nostalgia for those familiar with the Iowa landscape of yesteryear.

The inclusion of the highway designation itself, "IA 172," carries significant meaning. It represents the specific route that once connected Elgin to U.S. 18 in Clermont. This simple mark serves as a symbolic marker of a journey, a connection between two points, now preserved in this design.

The design captures a moment in time, a snapshot of Iowa's past road system, preserved on a collectible shot glass. It is a tribute to the road’s legacy, a reminder of its bygone role in connecting communities.

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.
