Iowa 345 1948 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design paying homage to Iowa Highway 345, as it would have appeared in 1948. The artwork directly references the classic Iowa state highway route marker used during that era, a symbol of mid-century American road travel.

The Route Marker

The central element is a shield-shaped design, a shape synonymous with road signage across the United States. It's a visual cue, quickly recognizable by drivers. The artwork meticulously recreates the 1948 design standards. A white background provides a clean canvas for the black text and border.

Color and Typography

The color scheme is stark and functional: black text against a white background. This high-contrast combination maximizes legibility, crucial for quick identification at highway speeds. The use of a simple, bold font for "IA 345" ensures clear route identification.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design represents a bygone era of Iowa's transportation history. It's a reminder of a time when the state was crisscrossed by numbered highways, connecting small towns and rural communities. The shield itself symbolizes guidance, direction, and the journey itself. The visual elements evoke a sense of nostalgia for classic Americana and the simple elegance of mid-20th century design.

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.
