US 63 Iowa 1948 (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic representation of a bygone era in American highway signage. The artwork replicates the U.S. Route 63 marker as it would have appeared in the state of Iowa in 1948. The design pays homage to the early days of standardized highway signage and cross-country road travel.

Visual Elements & Symbolism

The central element of the design is the shield itself. Following the standard practice of the time, the artwork depicts a shield shape. A bold "63" is displayed prominently in a black, clean font, representing the numerical designation of U.S. Route 63. Above the number the letters "US" are displayed. This simple yet effective layout was intended for quick and easy route identification while driving.

The color scheme is key to the design's effectiveness. The combination of black and white, standard for the era, creates a striking visual contrast. This high-contrast aesthetic ensured the sign would be easily seen and recognized by drivers, day or night. The starkness of the design is a symbolic nod to the practicality and essential nature of the original road signs.

This design celebrates the history of American road travel and the standardized signage system that helped shape it. It's a reminder of a time when the open road symbolized freedom and adventure.

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.
