Iowa 55 1926 (Iowa) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic design, a nostalgic homage to the early days of Iowa's highway system in 1926. The artwork is a faithful recreation of the original Iowa 55 road sign.

The Iconic Circular Shield

The centerpiece of the design is the distinctive black-and-white circular shield, the standard marker for Iowa's primary state highways. This shape, immediately recognizable, was a key element in Iowa's effort to standardize road signage and guide travelers across the state.

“Iowa” and the Route Number

At the top of the shield, the word "Iowa" is prominently displayed, signifying the state that the highway serves. Below, the number "55" is prominently featured. This number designated Iowa 55, a primary state highway that linked communities and served as a crucial regional connector. The simplicity of the design, with its bold lettering, ensured easy visibility, a necessity for early motorists navigating the open roads.

Symbolism of the Design

The design represents a significant period in Iowa's history, a time of growth and development of the state's transportation infrastructure. The sign is a symbol of progress, a visual representation of connectivity and the evolution of travel in the 1920s. It stands as a testament to the commitment of the state to enhance and develop travel and commerce.

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.
