MN-21 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design is a white-and-black route marker for Minnesota State Highway 21, with the state name across the top and the numeral 21 below it.

Visual Elements & Composition

White covers about three quarters of the surface, with black used for the lettering, the numeral and the frame. A horizontal divider band separates the state name from the route number, so the two lines of text sit in clear, stacked layers. The square sign shape and rounded corners give the layout a plain, functional look. Nothing decorative sits on the panel, and the bold numeral 21 is the clear focal point.

Meaning & Symbolism

The sign shows how Minnesota's highway markers looked around 1948, after the post-war push to standardise road signage across the state. Its plain layout put the route number first so that drivers could identify a road quickly. The marker records a transitional stage in American road administration, before later shield designs replaced it, and it stands for the state's wider effort to make its roads easy to navigate.

Where This Glass Meets the Design

On a 1.5oz shot glass the sign is taken in at close range, read as the glass is raised to the eye. The straight edges of the panel line up with the vertical sides of the glass, and the black lettering reads clearly through the clear walls. The compact marker suits a small vessel, with the state name and route number visible in one 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.
