MN-43 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design recreates a Minnesota State Highway 43 shield in black and white, with the state name set above the route number.

Visual Elements & Composition

The design is a flat, two-tone panel. A square shield with softened corners is split into horizontal sections, and the word MINNESOTA sits in the upper band with the numeral 43 below it. Black dominates the layout against a white ground. The result is centred, spare and typographic, with no ornament beyond the shield form itself.

Meaning & Symbolism

The 1948 date marks the change from the plain numbered markers of 1920 to shields that identify the state, and the shield form here follows that later style. Route 43 is shown as part of Minnesota's highway network, so the piece reads as a record of how the state's roads were signed in the mid-century period. The restrained palette suits its archival, documentary character.

Reading the Shield on the Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the shield's split panel and the bold 43 sit right in front of the eye. The state name and route number give a compact piece of Minnesota road history to the glass, one that rewards a closer look each time it is picked up.

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.
