MN-228 wide (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

Route 228 is picked out in bold numerals across a navy-and-gold Minnesota road sign, stretched into a wider format.

Visual Elements & Composition

The design is dominated by deep navy, edged in golden yellow, with white used for the state outline and lettering. The rounded rectangle is set wider than the usual square sign, forming a horizontal banner. The number 228 is the central element, and MINNESOTA runs with it, so the state and route read together at a glance. The arrangement is flat and clean, with the outline kept small so the figures stay dominant.

Meaning & Symbolism

The state outline marks the sign as belonging to Minnesota's highway network, and the number gives the route its own identity within it. Minnesota Highway 228 was a short connector serving towns in the central part of the state. The wider format came out of post-1948 signage updates, when designers stretched the standard shield so that drivers on faster, busier roads could read it from further away.

On the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the sign is read at close range, often rotated slowly to catch the light. The wide banner suits the glass's narrow shape, and the white numerals stand out against the navy field. It is a fitting choice for anyone who enjoys the practical side of road design and the stories told by a single route number.

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.
