MN-50 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A black-and-white route sign reading MINNESOTA over the numeral 50, dated 1948.

Visual Elements & Composition

The design is a flat vector sign built from a rounded square and a rectangular panel split by a horizontal divider. White covers most of the field, with black carrying the border, the divider and the lettering. The state name runs along the upper panel and the large numeral 50 fills the lower one, so the route number is the focal point. There are no colours beyond black and white, which gives the sign a crisp, printed look.

Meaning & Symbolism

State route markers were the wayfinding system that let drivers follow numbered highways across the country, and this piece takes that familiar form as its subject. The 1948 date places it in the postwar years, when road travel was expanding fast. The state name ties the sign to Minnesota, so the piece reads as a nod to the roads that linked its towns and to the everyday travel that built regional identity.

A Small Sign, Held Close

A shot glass is small and raised close to the eye, so the sign reads as a compact, self-contained image. The black border frames the straight walls of the glass, and the bold numeral stays legible at the level 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.
