Iowa 194 1926 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design celebrates the history of Iowa Highway 194 (IA 194) and the vintage road signage of the 1920s. It pays homage to a bygone era of transportation and highway design.

The Iconic 1926 Route Marker

The central element of the design is a faithful recreation of the 1926 Iowa state highway route marker. This circular sign, a symbol of consistent route identification, features a bold white background. The number "194" is prominently displayed in black text within the circle, representing the specific highway designation. A stark black border frames the entire design.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design’s clean and simple aesthetic reflects the clarity and functionality of the original road signs. The circular shape, combined with the bold contrasting colors, was intended for easy recognition by drivers. The presence of "194" specifically represents the particular route it identifies, signifying the 0.86-mile stretch of road that once connected Iowa Highway 2 to the Clarinda Treatment Center.

This design is not just a visual representation; it’s a tangible link to Iowa’s rich transportation history and the evolution of road signage. It encapsulates a period of standardization and a commitment to clear wayfinding for drivers of the time.

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.
