Iowa 78 (1926) Road Sign Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design inspired by the original Iowa 78 highway signs from 1926. This visual element evokes a bygone era of early road travel and the nascent standardization of highway signage across Iowa.

Sign Design and Symbolism

The central element is a black-and-white circular shield, meticulously mirroring the design of the original road signs. At the top of the circle, the word "Iowa" is prominently displayed, emphasizing the geographical location and state pride associated with the route. At the bottom, the number "78" is placed. The "78" symbolizes the primary state highway designation assigned in the early 1920s.

The simple, clean lines and contrasting colors contribute to the sign's clarity and recognizability. The circular shape and bold lettering are meant to capture the attention of motorists along the road, while representing a small part of a much larger journey.

This design serves as a small tribute to the history of Iowa’s highways, allowing you to reflect on the early development of travel and infrastructure.

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.
