Iowa 96 (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design inspired by the historical 1926 Iowa Highway 96 road sign. The artwork pays homage to a significant piece of Iowa's transportation history, representing a state highway that existed before the U.S. Highway System standardized road signage.

Visual Elements

The design faithfully recreates the key features of the original sign. It prominently displays a circular shield, the standard shape for state highway signs of the era. "IOWA" is elegantly arched across the top, while the number "96" is boldly centered below, denoting the specific highway route.

Color Scheme and Representation

The design adheres to the typical color scheme of the era: black text against a crisp, white background. This stark contrast ensured high visibility for drivers. The sign's design represents a time of early standardization in road signage. The choice of the circular shield and the bold lettering reflect the effort to create clear and easily recognizable markers for drivers navigating Iowa's roads.

Symbolism

The artwork symbolizes a bygone era of early 20th-century travel and the evolution of transportation infrastructure. It speaks to a time before the widespread adoption of the U.S. Highway System and embodies a piece of Iowa's past. For enthusiasts, it represents a tangible connection to history and a celebration of classic road design.

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.
