I-535 MN 1961 (Minnesota) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic representation of a bygone era of American highway travel: the I-535 Minnesota road sign as it would have appeared in 1961. The artwork directly emulates the early U.S. Interstate Highway shield design, a symbol of connectivity and the burgeoning interstate system.

Shield and Color Scheme

At the heart of the design is the iconic shield shape, a powerful visual marker of the interstate network. The color scheme is a key element, using the standardized colors of the era. A bold blue shield is at the base, representing the roadway itself. A crisp white number "535" is prominently displayed, identifying the specific route and its connection to the larger network. A striking red top section emblazoned with the word "INTERSTATE" completes the design, immediately communicating its function and purpose.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design of the I-535 MN 1961 shot glass embodies the spirit of the early interstate system. It speaks to a time of optimism, technological advancement, and the ease of travel that the new highways promised. It is a nostalgic nod to the past, reminding us of the roots of the road network that continues to shape modern America. The sign design represents the link between Duluth, Minnesota, and Superior, Wisconsin - a crucial passage point during the early years of the Interstate.

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.
