Iowa 29 1948 Shot Glass: A Vintage Design

This shot glass features a design inspired by the iconic Iowa 29 road signs of 1948. The artwork immediately captures the essence of mid-century highway signage, transporting you back to a time when travel was evolving and the open road beckoned.

Classic Signage Aesthetics

The design faithfully recreates the circular shield shape, a hallmark of Iowa's state highway system during that era. At the top, the bold capital letters spell out "IOWA," a simple yet powerful declaration of state identity. Beneath, the prominent number "29" is boldly displayed, signifying the specific route. This clear and concise layout reflects the standardization efforts of the time, designed to enhance clarity and ease of navigation for travelers.

Symbolism of the Open Road

More than just a number and a state name, this design symbolizes a historical moment in Iowa's transportation history. The sign represents the state’s commitment to improving its roadways and facilitating travel across the state. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time, when road trips were an adventure and the open highway was a symbol of freedom and exploration. The design is a miniature tribute to a significant era of Iowa's past, reminding us of the infrastructure and evolution that shaped the state's development.

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.
