Iowa 194 1948 (Iowa) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic and instantly recognizable design: the 1948 Iowa Highway 194 route marker. The artwork pays homage to the mid-20th century, specifically the year 1948 when IA 194 served as a crucial connector in Clarinda, Iowa. The design beautifully captures the essence of a bygone era in Iowa's road infrastructure.

The Route Marker

At the heart of the design lies the iconic shield-shaped route marker. The design adheres meticulously to the historical specifications. A pristine white background forms the canvas, setting off the black border that provides a strong visual outline. Within the shield, the bold black numbers "194" are prominently displayed, clearly indicating the road's designation. This simple yet impactful arrangement reflects the state's efforts to standardize signage for clarity and motorist convenience.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design serves as a nostalgic trip back to 1948 Iowa, connecting the viewer to a specific place and time. The route marker's sharp lines and standardized appearance symbolized the efficiency and modern progress associated with state-managed roadways. It represents the importance of connection and the infrastructure that was developing at the time. The shot glass design transforms this historic road sign into a collectible piece of art, showcasing a piece of Iowa's past.

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.
