MN-5 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

Black type on a white rounded panel spells out MINNESOTA over a large numeral 5, in a sign layout stripped to its essentials.

Visual Elements & Composition

White fills nearly the whole field, and black is limited to the panel edge, a horizontal divider and the lettering. The name sits in the upper band and the route number 5 in the lower, so the numeral is the largest and heaviest mark. The forms are flat vector with no gradient or texture. Two words and a number are the entire content, which keeps the design calm and legible.

Meaning & Symbolism

A name above a route number is the basic grammar of a state highway marker, and this piece presents Minnesota in that form. The 1948 in the title places it in the late 1940s, when postwar road signage was being simplified and made uniform, and the restrained palette echoes that mid-century practicality. It reads as a quiet tribute to the state's road identity and to the period that shaped it.

On the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and is raised close to the eye, so the panel and its divider are read at short range, with the name above the number as the glass turns. The sharp black-on-white contrast stays clear against the transparent sides, and the rounded corners follow the line of 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.
