MN-218 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A monochrome road-sign panel that names Minnesota and the number 218, with 1948 set beneath as the reference year.

Visual Elements & Composition

Black and white split the design evenly, with no third colour and no decorative detail. A rounded square holds the route number 218 at the centre, and a rectangular panel above it carries MINNESOTA in capitals. The year 1948 sits small at the foot of the design. The layout is symmetrical and quiet, and each element is set with generous space around it.

Meaning & Symbolism

The number identifies a Minnesota state route, and the sign frames it as a regional marker rather than a national one. The year 1948 gives the design its period reference, placing the sign in the late 1940s. The restrained styling of the composition is what gives the piece its archival, mid-century character, the sense of a plain roadside plate kept as a keepsake of the state.

Turned in the Hand

A shot glass is small and held close, so the sign is read at arm's length rather than from across a room. The rounded square sits neatly on the curve of the glass, and the black numerals keep their contrast as the glass is turned. Each glass repeats the plate, so the route number is 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.
