Iowa 44 1950 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features the iconic design of the Iowa 44 state highway marker as it appeared circa 1950. The artwork directly reflects the visual language of the era, drawing from Iowa’s road sign standards of the time.

A Classic Shield Design

The design centers around a circular shield, a design that Iowa adopted, and that has roots in earlier iterations going back to 1926. This shape is a familiar symbol of official designations and roadways.

Symbolism of the Road

The design clearly communicates its function: identifying a specific route within the Iowa highway system. The state identifier "Iowa" sits at or near the top of the shield, affirming the origin of the route. The prominent display of the route number "44" in the lower portion of the circle signifies the specific highway being indicated. This design serves to help guide travelers.

Minimalist and High-Contrast Aesthetics

To ensure optimal visibility, the design employs a high-contrast color scheme, likely black and white or white on black. This sharp contrast aids quick recognition, a key requirement for road signs meant to be seen at a distance and in various lighting conditions. This design is also relatively minimal, allowing for quick comprehension.

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.
