Iowa Primary 53 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This design meticulously replicates the Iowa Highway 53 road sign as it appeared during the mid-20th century. The artwork centers around the core visual identity of this now-defunct Iowa state route.

Sign Elements

The design faithfully recreates the official Iowa Primary Road marker. The dominant element is a circular black background. Inside the circle, the prominent numeral "53" is displayed, rendered in a sans-serif typeface consistent with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) standards for two-digit routes (Series C font). The number's black color provides clear contrast against the bright, white backdrop, ensuring immediate readability and recall.

Symbolism

The design’s symbolism stems from its representation of a specific point in Iowa's history and transportation infrastructure. The road sign represents a vanished piece of Iowa's past, recalling the state's evolution and the specific era when this route served as a vital part of the Iowa Primary Highway System. It also embodies the standardized sign systems used for navigation and state transportation at the time.

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.
