MN-190 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This shot glass carries a flat, high-contrast road sign that reads MN-190, the year 1948 and the word Minnesota.

Visual Elements & Composition

The design is built from black and white only, with no shading or ornament. A square panel with softened corners sits at the centre, and the lettering is set in a clean, centred stack. MINNESOTA runs across the upper part of the panel, the route number 190 takes the largest position below it, and the year 1948 sits quietly beneath. Every element is sharply legible at a glance, the way a roadside marker has to be.

Meaning & Symbolism

Route markers like this one are the everyday language of state highways. The shape and numbering tell a driver which road they are on without a single word of explanation. Here that vocabulary is lifted out of the landscape and given a date, 1948, which anchors the sign to a particular moment in mid-century American travel. The result reads as a small piece of regional memory, a reminder of the long roads that tie one town to the next.

Held in the Hand

A shot glass is small, held close and tipped back in a single motion, so the design is seen at close range rather than from across a room. The square panel sits neatly within the curve of the glass, and the bold black lettering stays readable even as the glass is turned. Each glass in this run shows the same sign, so the number and state name are always the first thing a guest reads.

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.
