MN-13 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This shot glass reproduces a Minnesota State Highway 13 sign as it stood around 1948, a black-on-white marker from the years after the Second World War.

Visual Elements & Composition

The sign is mostly white, with black lettering that dominates the surface. The route numeral 13 is set large, and the word MINNESOTA runs above it, divided by a horizontal band. The rounded square outline and flat vector shapes keep the layout plain and direct, so the name and number are the only things to read.

Meaning & Symbolism

The sign was made for one practical purpose: to tell motorists which route they were on. In the years after the war, Minnesota was updating its highway signage to make it clearer and more uniform across the network. This marker sits in that transition, before later standard shields became the norm, and it records the state's road system at a point of change.

Reading the Sign at Close Range

A shot glass is small and held close, so the lettering is read at the rim as the glass is lifted rather than from a passing car. The black numeral faces the drinker, and the divider band sits level with the curve of the glass. It is a direct, legible piece for a home bar or a collection of Minnesota road signs.

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.
