Michigan 494 Marquette County (Michigan) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

Design Overview

This shot glass showcases a faithful reproduction of the former Michigan M-494 road sign. The design is a direct tribute to a short-lived state trunkline highway that once existed in Ishpeming, Marquette County, within Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

Visual Elements

The artwork centers on the iconic diamond-shaped highway shield, rotated 45 degrees. The primary color is a clean white, forming the background of the sign. Bold black is used for both the border of the diamond and the prominent text. At the top of the sign, the black letter "M" is displayed, followed by the number "494" below it. These elements are precisely placed, mirroring the original road sign's distinct layout.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design’s symbolism connects to the history of Michigan's transportation infrastructure. The M-494 sign represents a vanished piece of Ishpeming's road network, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a past era. The white diamond shape, universally recognized for state highways in Michigan, signifies the official designation of the former trunkline. The stark contrast between the black and white emphasizes the sign's clarity, and its practical functionality in its original use.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — 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 (≈44.3 ml) — 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 — 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 — 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 (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
