US 30 Iowa 1926 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to the original US Route 30 signage as it appeared in Iowa in 1926. The artwork is a direct replication of the iconic road sign, representing a pivotal moment in American transportation history.

Artwork Elements

The design features the classic U.S. Highway shield shape, a visual marker instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with the early days of automobile travel. The white or light-colored background provides a clean canvas, sharply contrasted by the bold black border that defines the sign's shape.

Dominating the center of the design is the route number "30," rendered in a solid black typeface. This simple yet powerful numeral serves as the primary identifier for U.S. Route 30, guiding travelers across the state.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design encapsulates the spirit of early 20th-century road travel. It symbolizes the establishment of the U.S. Highway system, a monumental undertaking that connected the nation and facilitated the burgeoning automotive age. The sign itself represents a commitment to organized and standardized road navigation.

The stark, utilitarian aesthetic of the sign reflects the practical nature of the era. The absence of unnecessary embellishment underscores the function of the sign: to efficiently and effectively convey critical directional information to motorists on their journeys through Iowa and beyond.

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.
