MN-256 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A high-contrast black-and-white road sign in a 1948 style, with the state name and route number 256 set in bold capitals.

Visual Elements & Composition

White dominates the design, with black used for the sign's lettering and dividing band. The shape is a rounded square split into a horizontal panel, MINNESOTA running across the upper section and the numeral 256 filling the lower one. The layout is centred and symmetrical, and the flat vector treatment keeps the type sharp and uncluttered, with no imagery beyond the sign itself.

Meaning & Symbolism

The design recalls the mid-century road signs that Minnesota used to bring its state highways under one visual system. Strong lettering and a plain black-and-white face were meant to be read quickly by drivers, and the number 256 points to a specific route in that network. It stands as a piece of regional record, showing how the state once signed its roads in the years after the war.

Shot Glass Scale & Form

A 1.5oz shot glass is small enough to hold close, so the sign is read at arm's length as the glass is lifted and turned. The bold black type holds up at that scale, and the split panel runs around the curve of the glass, bringing the route number into view on the side facing the drinker.

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.
