MN-116 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design renders a square Minnesota highway marker in white and black, its route number 116 and the state name set into a plain, orderly layout.

Visual Elements & Composition

White makes up roughly three quarters of the image, with black carrying the sign's border, the horizontal divider band and the lettering. The rounded square of the marker sits at the centre, and the outline of Minnesota occupies the upper field while the words MINNESOTA and 116 hold the lower band. Nothing is added beyond these shapes, so the flat vector style lets the contrast and the numerals do all the work.

Meaning & Symbolism

The marker belongs to Minnesota's 1948 statewide highway programme, which gave the state a standard, recognisable shield for each route. Highway 116 was a central-eastern connector, and the state silhouette placed beside its number tied the road to the land it crosses. The result is an early example of the state-branded road sign that became common across mid-century American highways.

Made for a Closer View

A shot glass is small and held close, so the stark black-and-white layout reads up near the eye rather than from a distance. Tilted toward a window, the divider band and bold numerals catch the light, turning a simple route sign into a quiet memento for a home bar or a collection of Minnesota keepsakes.

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.
