MN-44 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design shows a Minnesota State Highway 44 marker in black and white, with the state name above the route number in a mid-century shield layout.

Visual Elements & Composition

The piece is a flat two-tone panel. A square shield with softened corners is divided horizontally, with MINNESOTA in the upper section and the numeral 44 below. Black carries the lettering against a white ground, and the layout is centred and spare. Nothing sits outside the shield, so the state name and route number form a compact, legible block.

Meaning & Symbolism

The 1948 date marks the switch to state-outline shields, and the shield shape in this design belongs to that later generation of Minnesota route signs. Route 44 was an east-west road through southeastern Minnesota, so the marker records a specific road in the state's numbered network at a particular point in its history. The design is a clear, factual record of how the state identified its highways in the post-war period.

Reading the Shield on the Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the split shield and the bold 44 come straight into view when the glass is lifted. Its clean typography suits a small object, and it gives the glass a quiet piece of Minnesota road history to carry.

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.
