US 20 Iowa 1926 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Overview

This shot glass captures the essence of early American road travel, specifically through the heartland of Iowa in 1926. The artwork centers around the iconic U.S. Highway shield, a recognizable symbol of the nascent U.S. Highway system.

The Classic Shield

The design prominently features the classic U.S. Highway shield shape. A clean, light-colored background provides a neutral canvas for the bold black details. The black border, a defining characteristic of this early design, frames the central elements and provides a sense of visual structure.

The Route Number

At the heart of the design, the number "20" is emblazoned in solid black. This stark, centered numeral directly identifies the route, a clear and immediate directive for travelers. The simplicity of the number's presentation is in keeping with the utilitarian nature of the original road signs.

Symbolism

The artwork represents the historical significance of U.S. Route 20 as it was first designated in the 1926 U.S. Highway system. The sign represents a moment in time, the dawn of modern interstate travel, and the growing national network of roads connecting the country. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler era of driving and adventure across the American landscape, offering a window into the history of American transportation.

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.
