MN-254 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A black-and-white replica of a 1948 Minnesota State Highway 254 route marker, drawn with the plain lettering of the post-war road sign.

Visual Elements & Composition

The design is almost entirely white and black. A rounded square shield sits in the centre of the frame, split into a horizontal panel, with the word MINNESOTA set in bold sans-serif capitals across the upper band and the route number 254 filling the lower one. A faint outline of the state appears beside the numerals. The contrast is high and the shapes are flat vector, so the sign reads quickly and without ornament.

Meaning & Symbolism

The sign reflects a period when Minnesota replaced a patchwork of older road markers with one consistent system for its state highways. Clear lettering and a strong black-on-white face were chosen so drivers could identify a route at speed, and the design stands for the state's push toward modern infrastructure and driver safety during the travel boom that followed the Second World War. It is a record of how the state once showed motorists where they were.

Shot Glass Scale & Form

On a 1.5oz shot glass the marker is seen at close range, the glass held in the hand and the sign wrapping its small curved surface. The bold lettering stays readable at that size, and the simple split panel reads as a clean band across the glass, so the route number is the first thing the eye lands on when the glass is turned.

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.
