Iowa 190 1926 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Description

The design of this shot glass evokes the spirit of early 20th-century American road travel, specifically within the state of Iowa. The artwork replicates the aesthetic of a vintage Iowa highway sign, capturing a moment in history before the standardization of modern road signage.

Visual Elements & Representation

The primary visual element is the number "190," prominently displayed within a shield shape. This number represents Iowa Highway 190, as it was designated in the year 1926. The typeface likely mimics the styles common in the era, providing a sense of historical accuracy. The color palette would be reminiscent of the period, possibly featuring a combination of black, white, and possibly other colors that were used on early Iowa highway signs. The shield shape itself represents the official state identification for the designated route, creating a sense of authority.

Meaning & Symbolism

The design serves as a nostalgic nod to the past, representing a time when highway systems were in their formative years. The "1926" designation itself symbolizes a moment of change and organization within the Iowa road network, reflecting the broader national effort to create a unified and easily navigable road infrastructure. The absence of a current highway 190, gives this design a sense of exclusivity and historical significance, making it a conversation piece for road enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The design is a reminder of a bygone era and the evolution of transportation in 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.
