MN-36 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A black-and-white Minnesota State Highway 36 shield, showing the route number inside a rounded panel in the style of the late 1940s.

Visual Elements & Composition

White makes up most of the design, with black for the shield outline and the lettering. The rounded-corner panel is split horizontally, with the word MINNESOTA on one band and the route number 36 on the other. The layout is restrained and centred, so the state name and the number carry the image without any extra decoration. The flat vector style keeps the forms clean and easy to read.

Meaning & Symbolism

A shield like this one marks a state trunk highway, separating it from the U.S. and Interstate routes that share the same roads. Highway 36 was first designated in 1933, and the 1948 date in the title points to the post-war marker style that Minnesota adopted for its state routes. The design stands as a record of how those roads were signed in the middle of the twentieth century.

Turned in the Hand

On a shot glass the shield is seen close and at an angle as the glass is turned. The hard black outline and wide white field hold their shape against the curve, so the number reads clearly even near the rim.

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.
