Iowa 402 Road Sign Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design inspired by the Iowa Primary 402 road sign, a historic route marker from Iowa's mid-20th-century highway system. The artwork directly reflects the standardized signage used by the Iowa State Highway Commission during that era.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element of the design is the bold number "402". This numerical representation, rendered in a clear and legible font, identifies the specific route designated as Iowa 402. The circular shape surrounding the route number is also faithful to the original sign design. This shape served as a key visual cue, allowing drivers to quickly identify primary routes within the Iowa road network.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design symbolizes Iowa's efforts to develop a modern and efficient transportation system. The Iowa Primary 402 sign, and thus this design, represents a specific route and, more broadly, the state's investment in infrastructure and progress. The sign is a visual reminder of the mid-20th-century, highlighting a time of growth and expansion within Iowa’s transportation network, which connected communities and facilitated economic activity.

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.
