Iowa 198 1926 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic representation of Iowa's 1926 highway system. The design centers around a faithful reproduction of the vintage Iowa Route 198 road sign, instantly transporting the viewer back to the early days of automobile travel and standardized highway markings.

The Iconic Route Marker

The artwork faithfully recreates the circular route marker that defined Iowa's highways in 1926. A stark white background provides the base for the design, immediately catching the eye and establishing the sign's prominence. Encircling the white field is a bold black border, providing a clear visual definition and framing the essential information within. The centerpiece of the design is the route number: "198," rendered in a prominent, black font, and centered within the circle. This bold number clearly identifies the specific route and would have been instantly recognizable to motorists traveling along Iowa's roadways nearly a century ago.

Symbolism and Meaning

The sign itself is a symbol of connectivity and navigation. For motorists of the era, the sign signified a route, a destination, and a part of their journey. The classic circular shape and bold colors were part of Iowa's first standardized highway signage, designed to bring uniformity and clarity to the state's growing road network. Displaying this design on a shot glass provides a tangible connection to this historical system.

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.
