I-90 MN 1957 (Minnesota) Road Sign Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to the early days of Interstate travel, specifically Interstate 90 in Minnesota, as envisioned in 1957. The artwork is a faithful reproduction of the iconic Interstate shield, a symbol instantly recognizable to travelers across the nation.

Classic Interstate Shield

The centerpiece of the design is the traditional Interstate shield shape. The top banner, a bold red, proudly displays the word "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering. This declaration immediately signifies the road's importance within the national highway system.

Color and Numerals

Beneath the banner, a vibrant blue field provides the background for the large, prominent white "90" numerals. The use of red, white, and blue creates a patriotic color scheme, reflecting the national scope and funding of the Interstate Highway System. The "90" represents the specific route designation, guiding travelers along a crucial corridor across southern Minnesota.

State and Directional Elements

The design may, or may not, incorporate "MINNESOTA" at the bottom of the shield. This detail represents the importance of the highway to the state and its connection to the overall interstate system. The presence, or absence, of this element reflects the authentic variations seen in the early road signs of the period. Similarly, some signs featured a small white rectangular banner indicating "EAST" or "WEST" above or below the shield. These details are a visual reminder of the directional information available to travelers.

Symbolism and Meaning

The overall design symbolizes the pioneering spirit of the Interstate Highway System, a revolutionary infrastructure project that transformed American travel and commerce. The bold colors, clear numerals, and official signage represent efficiency, clarity, and the promise of seamless cross-country travel.

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.
