US 20 Iowa 1948 (Iowa) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic representation of a U.S. Route 20 road sign as it appeared in Iowa in 1948, reflecting a post-World War II update to highway signage.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The design prominently displays the iconic U.S. Highway shield, a recognizable emblem of the American federal highway system. The shield's background is a bright, clear color – white or a light shade – providing high contrast.

Centered within the shield, the route number "20" is rendered in bold black, ensuring clear visibility. This numeral signifies U.S. Route 20, marking its presence and guiding travelers.

Above the route number, the word "IOWA" may appear, reflecting a common detail in Iowa highway signage of the time, thereby identifying the specific state the route is located in.

Meaning and Symbolism

The road sign design is a symbolic representation of travel and the open road, echoing the era of cross-country adventures. The simple yet effective design communicates information efficiently.

It is a reminder of a bygone era when U.S. highways were the primary means of long-distance travel, offering a tangible connection to American history and the evolution of transportation. The design is a nod to a time before the Interstate system, when US routes were the lifeblood of commerce and exploration.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
