Iowa 39 1950 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design evokes the spirit of mid-century Iowa highways, specifically the era of 1950. The artwork is a faithful recreation of what a "Iowa 39" road sign likely would have looked like during that period, as no original photographic evidence exists to confirm its exact appearance.

Visual Representation

The central design element is a circular shield, typical of Iowa state highway signage of the time. The upper portion of the shield prominently displays the word "Iowa," representing the state itself. The number "39," rendered in bold numerals, occupies the lower portion, clearly identifying the specific highway route.

Color Scheme and Legibility

The color scheme is designed for maximum contrast and legibility, reflecting the practical needs of roadside signage. This ensures the sign's message is immediately clear to passing motorists. The likely configuration would be black numerals on a white background, or a reversed arrangement, enhancing the visual impact.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design represents a nostalgic connection to Iowa's transportation history and the infrastructure of the 1950s. The road sign imagery symbolizes the journey, exploration, and the vital role that highways play in connecting communities and enabling travel throughout the state. It is a tribute to the aesthetics of a bygone era.

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.
