MN-49 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design borrows the plain visual language of a highway route marker, with the number 49 and the year 1948 set in bold black on a white field.

Visual Elements & Composition

The artwork is flat and graphic, built from a square with softly rounded corners and a rectangular panel divided horizontally. The white field takes up roughly four-fifths of the image, with black carrying the rest. The word MINNESOTA sits across the upper band, and the numerals 49 dominate the lower band, so the eye lands on the route number first. Nothing decorative competes with the lettering, which keeps the message quick to read at a glance.

Meaning & Symbolism

A shield-shaped route marker is the signature of a numbered state highway, and this piece pulls that signage into a keepsake. The 1948 date anchors it to a specific era, while the state name ties it to Minnesota's regional identity. Together the elements read as a small tribute to the roads that carried travellers across the state, and to the nostalgia of those mid-century road trips.

Shaped for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the design rewards a closer look. The high-contrast lettering reads clearly at the rim, and the compact panel layout fits the narrow, straight-sided silhouette of the glass, where the sign sits as a single focused image rather than a scene spread around the body.

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.
