Iowa 4 1950 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to the historical Iowa Highway 4, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of road travel. The artwork replicates the classic road sign design used by the Iowa Highway Commission during the early 20th century, specifically referencing a style that might have been employed in the 1950s, though the original route existed earlier.

Signage Replication

The central element of the design is a faithful reproduction of the circular road sign. The classic shape, a symbol of standardized signage, immediately identifies its purpose: to guide travelers. The white background provides a clean canvas, allowing the bold black text to stand out. The word "IOWA" arches elegantly across the top of the sign, clearly establishing the state's identity. Below, the number "4" is centered, indicating the specific route and offering a sense of direction and destination to anyone familiar with the Iowa road system of that time.

Historical Echoes

The design represents the evolving landscape of transportation infrastructure. It signifies the state's commitment to organizing its roads, reflecting an era of expanding automobile travel. The overall design embodies simplicity and clarity, essential for road signage that should be instantly recognizable and easily understood by drivers. The shot glass encapsulates a piece of Iowa's past, celebrating the important role the early highway system played in connecting communities and promoting travel.

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.
