MN-51 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A black-on-white highway-style sign that pairs the state name Minnesota with the route number 51 and the year 1948.

Visual Elements & Composition

The design is a flat vector sign on a rounded square, divided by a horizontal rectangular panel. White makes up most of the field and black draws the border, the divider and the type. MINNESOTA runs across the upper panel, and the numeral 51 holds the lower one, so the route number is what the eye settles on. The palette is strictly two-tone, which keeps the sign clean and graphic.

Meaning & Symbolism

A numbered state route marker is the everyday emblem of the highway network, telling drivers which road they are on. Here that signage is given a 1948 date, placing it in the postwar period when road travel across the country was growing quickly. The state name anchors the piece to Minnesota, so the sign reads as a tribute to the routes that connected its towns and to the travel that shaped the region.

The Glass as a Road Sign

A shot glass is small and held close, so the sign reads as a compact image seen at the level of the rim. The black border follows the straight walls of the glass, and the bold numeral stays readable as the drink is lifted.

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.
