Iowa Primary 19 (Iowa) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design paying homage to Iowa's transportation history, specifically the era of "Primary Road No. 19." The artwork centers around the visual representation of this historical route.

The Primary 19 Design

The design prominently displays "Primary 19" representing the early state designation. This lettering style likely mirrors the font and layout seen on original signage from the 1920s, offering a glimpse into Iowa's past road-marking system.

The imagery invokes a sense of nostalgia for those who remember, or appreciate, the transition from state-based road systems to the national US Highway system. It symbolizes the evolution of Iowa's infrastructure and the enduring history of its roads.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design speaks to the passage of time and the legacy of the old routes. "Primary 19" now denotes a former designation, replaced by US 18. This change embodies the transformation of transportation and the development of the US highway system.

For those interested in Iowa history, the shot glass serves as a unique collectible, sparking conversation about the state's transportation heritage and the roots of US Route 18. The artwork is a reminder of the historical significance of the roadways, making a connection to a bygone era.

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.
