MN-278 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A minimal black-and-white Minnesota route badge, with the state name over the route number 278 on a rounded square face.

Visual Elements & Composition

White makes up most of the design and black the lettering and the divider. The rounded square is cut across the middle by a horizontal line, with MINNESOTA in the upper band and 278 in the lower, both set in heavy capitals. The flat vector style adds no shading or ornament, so the layout is centred, legible and direct.

Meaning & Symbolism

The badge draws on the mid-century road signs with which Minnesota gave its highways a single, recognisable look. Clear type and high contrast meant a driver could find a route number quickly, and the design keeps that purpose at its centre. The 1948 date places the sign in the years when the state's road network was expanding after the war.

Shot Glass Scale & Form

On a 1.5oz shot glass the badge is small enough to take in at a glance, held close as the glass is lifted. The divider wraps the curve of the vessel, and the bold black 278 remains readable 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.
