MN-252 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A minimal white-and-black Minnesota highway sign, with the state name, the route number 252 and the date 1948 arranged in a single balanced panel.

Visual Elements & Composition

White dominates the rounded square, with black reserved for the divided panel and the lettering. The layout splits horizontally, placing MINNESOTA in one band and the numerals 252 in the other. The year 1948 sits alongside them as a dated marker. The composition is symmetrical and quiet, with no ornament beyond the lettering. The contrast is strong, so the text reads cleanly against the white.

Meaning & Symbolism

The state name identifies the sign's jurisdiction, and the number identifies the route. The year 1948 places the design in the postwar period, when Minnesota's road signs were being updated for faster and busier traffic. Route 252 is one of the numbered connectors that knit the state's highways together, and the sign records a moment when clear, standard signage was becoming the norm across the country. It is a plain image, but it carries the weight of that shift in travel.

On the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the sign is seen up near the eye, the way a passenger reads a route marker from the seat. The black and white hold their contrast through the clear glass, and the three elements stay distinct at this scale. Each round brings the date and the route back into view.

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.
