Iowa 80 (1926) Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass features a design that instantly transports you back to the early days of Iowa's highway system. The artwork is centered around the iconic 1926 Iowa 80 road sign, a visual emblem of a bygone era of travel and transportation.

The Sign: A Circle of History

The primary design element is the black-and-white circular shield, the standard marker for primary Iowa highways in 1926. This shape is a visual cue of authority and standardization, communicating the importance of the route as part of the official state highway network. At the top of the circle, the word "Iowa" is boldly displayed, clearly identifying the state this highway serves. The route number "80" is printed at the bottom of the circle.

Color and Contrast

The stark contrast of the black and white color scheme further enhances the design's impact. This high contrast allows the design to be easily read, ensuring recognition of its symbol.

Symbolism

The Iowa 80 sign, as depicted on this shot glass, is much more than just a route marker; it's a symbol of connectivity, a testament to Iowa's commitment to early infrastructure, and a nostalgic reminder of simpler times. It represents a piece of Iowa's history, a tangible link to the state's past.

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.
