MN-3 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A black-and-white route sign reading MINNESOTA above a bold numeral 3, set in a rounded square panel.

Visual Elements & Composition

White covers most of the field, with black used for the rounded square border and the divided panel. The layout is stacked and typographic: the state name sits in the upper band and the route number 3 takes over the lower band, so the number is the strongest mark on the sign. The rendering is flat vector with no ornament, which keeps the design sharp and direct. Two elements of text are all the design needs.

Meaning & Symbolism

A rectangular panel divided into a name and a number is the standard form of a state highway shield, the sign a traveller meets at a junction. Here the name of Minnesota and the route numeral 3 stand for the state's road network as a whole. The 1948 in the title sets the piece in the postwar years, when highway signage was being standardised across the country, and the restrained black and white reflects that plain, functional idiom.

Where the Glass Meets the Sign

A shot glass is small and is lifted close, so the panel is read at near range, with the state name and numeral facing the drinker as the glass is raised. The high contrast of black on white holds its clarity against the clear walls of the vessel, and the sign reads as a crisp, self-contained label on the glass.

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.
