Iowa 5 (1926) Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass features a design inspired by the original 1920s-era Iowa Highway 5 road signage. The artwork aims to capture the essence of early 20th-century road infrastructure and the historical context of Iowa's highway system.

Signage Replica

The central element of the design replicates the iconic circular road signs used for Iowa Highway 5. The shape itself is a nod to early standardization efforts in road marking, creating a visual consistency across the state's roadways. The white background provides a clean canvas, allowing the black text to stand out prominently.

Text and Symbolism

At the top of the design, the word "IOWA" is displayed in a clear, bold font, immediately identifying the state of origin. Centered below, the number "5" is prominently featured, representing the specific route and its role in the state's transportation network. This simple yet effective layout conveys the core purpose of road signage: to provide clear and concise information to travelers.

Historical Significance

The design serves as a visual reminder of the early days of standardized road numbering in Iowa and the broader efforts to create a cohesive highway system. It represents a pivotal moment in transportation history when states like Iowa began organizing and labeling their roadways. The inclusion of the year "1926" marks the transition point when Iowa 5 was decommissioned and replaced by US 34 due to the creation of the U.S. Highway System.

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.
