MN-221 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A plain black-and-white marker reads MINNESOTA above the number 221, with the year 1948 printed beneath.

Visual Elements & Composition

The design is limited to black and white, divided equally between the two. A rectangular panel carries the state name across the top, and the route number 221 fills a rounded square below it, drawn large enough to be the main reading. The year 1948 appears in a smaller line at the foot. Every shape is flat and every edge is hard, with no shading or ornament to soften the text.

Meaning & Symbolism

The route number 221 identifies a Minnesota state road, and the marker treats it as a classification, a reference for finding a road on a map. The year 1948 gives the sign a fixed date, which fits the archival, mid-century tone of the layout. The design is about plain information set down clearly, a reminder of how much of a state's identity can be carried by a number and a name.

Turned in the Hand

A shot glass is small and held close, so the marker 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. Tipping the glass back brings the date up last, after the number has already been read.

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.
