Iowa Primary 31 Shot Glass: A Visual Journey

This shot glass features a design paying homage to Iowa's historic road system. The artwork directly references the iconic "Iowa Primary 31" road sign, a visual guide that once navigated motorists across the state.

The Design Elements

The primary visual element is a bold representation of the number "31," prominently displayed. This numerical designation was the key identifier for Primary Road No. 31, a crucial route during Iowa's early transportation era. The design philosophy of the sign, as captured here, prioritized clarity and easy recognition.

The shape, likely circular or a simple geometric shield in the original design, is echoed. The color palette often employed was likely high-contrast for optimal visibility during the early 1900s. Though the colors here are implied, the overall design suggests the simple functionality of the original sign: to guide travelers on their journey.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design symbolizes Iowa’s early efforts to develop a standardized infrastructure and transportation network. The "31" stands as a testament to the foresight of the Iowa General Assembly in organizing and improving the state’s key roads. Displaying this number on the shot glass also evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time before modern maps and GPS, when clear, simple signage was essential for navigation.

The Iowa Primary 31 design, captured on this shot glass, is an emblem of Iowa's past, celebrating the standardized route markings that shaped the state's early road system.

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.
