MN-4 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A stacked black-and-white panel bearing the word MINNESOTA and the numeral 4 reads like a state highway shield in its plainest form.

Visual Elements & Composition

White makes up most of the surface, with black framing the rounded-corner square and dividing it into two horizontal bands. The state name occupies the upper band and the route number 4 fills the lower, so the numeral carries the greatest visual weight. The vector forms are clean and unshaded. The whole design is built from type and a single frame, with nothing added beyond that.

Meaning & Symbolism

The split panel, a name over a number, is the layout that state highway shields have used to identify routes, and this design presents Minnesota in that same form. The 1948 in the title places the piece in the late 1940s, a period of retro, mid-century signage, and the austere black and white is faithful to that era. It works as a commemorative tribute to the state's road identity.

On the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the two bands read at close range, the name above the numeral, much as a sign is read at a short distance. The high contrast holds its clarity against the clear glass, and the square panel sits neatly on the curve of the vessel.

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.
