US 34 Iowa 1926 (Iowa) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design replicates the classic look of a 1926 U.S. Route 34 road sign as it would have appeared in Iowa. The artwork is a faithful representation of the original highway markers, evoking the early days of automotive travel and the establishment of the U.S. Highway system.

Visual Elements and Meaning

The centerpiece of the design is the iconic U.S. Highway shield. This instantly recognizable shape, with its clean lines and simple geometry, immediately signifies the presence of a federal highway. The choice of a white or light-colored background, contrasted by a black border, provides maximum visibility and clarity, crucial for signage intended to be quickly read by drivers.

At the heart of the shield, the bold "34" is displayed in a prominent black font. This number clearly identifies the specific route for travelers. The simplicity of the design, with its use of only a few colors and straightforward typography, speaks to the practical and functional nature of early road signage.

While not universally present, the design may include "IOWA" above the route number, as was sometimes used on these early signs. This inclusion reinforces the location of the route within the state of Iowa. This design element speaks to the history of the early highway system and the wayfinding methods of the time.

The overall design is a nostalgic tribute to the roots of American highway travel. It is a visual cue of a time when the open road promised adventure and exploration.

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.
