Iowa 26 (1926) Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass features a classic representation of Iowa's transportation history: the iconic 1926 Iowa 26 road sign. The design pays homage to the original markers that standardized route identification across the state, a crucial development in the early days of automotive travel.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central design element is a circular shield, mirroring the shape of the original highway markers. At the top of the circle, the word "IOWA" is proudly displayed, anchoring the design and clearly identifying the state of origin. Below, the number "26" is prominently featured in a bold font. This number immediately signifies the specific route and its significance within the state's primary highway system of 1926.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a pivotal moment in Iowa's history, the standardization of road markings. It symbolizes the state's progress and its embrace of the growing automotive age, as well as the transition from a system of painted telegraph poles to officially designated route markers. This simple yet powerful visual evokes a sense of nostalgia, recalling a time when the open road held new adventures and possibilities for travelers.

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.
