US 151 Iowa 1948 Road Sign Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass features a miniature recreation of the iconic US 151 Iowa road sign as it appeared in 1948. The design pays homage to a significant moment in American highway history, reflecting a national effort to standardize signage while retaining familiar visual cues.

The Shield: A Symbol of the Road

The central element of the design is the pointed-bottom shield, a shape deeply rooted in the history of U.S. highway markers. This familiar form immediately identifies the route as part of the national highway system. The shield is a visual shorthand, communicating a wealth of information at a glance.

Typography and Numerals

Bold, sans-serif numerals "151" are prominently displayed within the shield, crafted for maximum legibility. This typography choice reflects the era's focus on clear communication, ensuring the route number is easily identifiable even at a distance or higher speeds. The numbers are the primary identifier of the route, helping travelers navigate.

State Jurisdiction: "IOWA"

Positioned at the top of the shield is the word "IOWA," clearly indicating the state's jurisdiction over this segment of U.S. Route 151. This detail anchors the sign's geographical context, providing a crucial piece of information for travelers. The placement of "IOWA" highlights the intersection of national and state-level infrastructure.

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.
