MN-19 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces a 1948 Minnesota highway shield for Route 19, with the state name across the top and a bold black numeral 19 at the centre.

Visual Elements & Composition

The palette is strictly black and white, split evenly across the surface. The shield has a rectangular top and a pointed base, outlined in black on a white field. The word MINNESOTA runs in capitals across the upper part, and the numeral 19 is set large and heavy in the centre. Nothing else sits on the panel, so the two lines of lettering carry the entire composition.

Meaning & Symbolism

The shield is a copy of the route marker used by the Minnesota Department of Highways in the mid-century period, when the state's trunk highway system was signed under the standardised numbering adopted in the 1930s. Route 19 runs east to west across southern Minnesota, linking the state's rural and growing communities. The white-background marker belongs to the era before Minnesota moved to its later black signs, so the design records a specific stage in the state's road history.

Where This Glass Meets the Design

On a 1.5oz shot glass the shield is seen at close range, read as the glass is lifted and held just below the eye. Its pointed base and straight sides follow the taper of the glass, and the black outline stands out against the clear walls. The compact sign suits the scale of the vessel, with the number 19 readable in a single glance.

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.
