Iowa Primary 2 (Iowa) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design inspired by the historic Iowa Primary 2 road sign, a visual relic from Iowa's pioneering efforts in early highway standardization during the 1920s.

Sign Elements

The central element is a prominent "2," the route number that guided motorists across Iowa's primary road network. The shape of the sign and the number's bold presentation echo the straightforward functionality of the original signs, designed for clear identification and easy navigation.

Historical Context

The design serves as a tribute to Iowa’s early efforts in establishing a well-organized road system. The Primary 2 route was instrumental in connecting towns with a population of at least 1,000 residents. The number reflects a time when standardized markings were critical for helping drivers find their way before modern mapping technology was readily available.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a significant period in Iowa's transportation history, symbolizing the state's progress and the evolving methods of infrastructure development. This shot glass carries the spirit of early navigation, an era when clarity in road signage was paramount. The bold numeral serves as a symbol of Iowa's commitment to creating a reliable and accessible highway system during a period of rapid development.

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.
