Iowa Primary 32 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design captures the essence of early 20th-century Iowa transportation, faithfully recreating the visual hallmarks of the "Iowa Primary 32" road sign. The design pays homage to Iowa's pioneering efforts in developing its primary road system, a vital step in connecting the state's towns and improving travel for motorists.

Design Elements and Meaning

The central focus of the design is the bold "32," the designated route number for Primary Road No. 32. This simple yet functional element reflects the navigational purpose of the original signs, serving as a clear identifier for early motorists traversing the state's nascent road network. The emphasis on the number underscores the practical nature of the era's road signage, prioritizing easy identification and direction.

The design, inspired by the circular or basic geometric shield shapes common to the original signs, evokes a sense of historical authenticity. This shape choice, in conjunction with the stark number, symbolizes the straightforward, no-frills approach to road building and navigation in the 1920s. It represents a period where the primary goal was accessibility and functionality over elaborate aesthetics.

The artwork, in its simplicity, echoes the legacy of the Iowa Primary 32 sign. It is a visual testament to the origins of Iowa's highway system, offering a glimpse into the state's transportation history and the groundwork laid for modern highways. The design is a celebration of the past, capturing the spirit of a time when roads were being forged, and the state was becoming more connected, one mile at a time.

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.
