MN-55 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A black-and-white route marker reading MINNESOTA above the bold numeral 55, dated 1948.

Visual Elements & Composition

The sign is a flat vector graphic on a rounded square, with a rectangular panel divided by a horizontal line. White covers most of the surface, and black provides the border, the divider and the lettering. MINNESOTA runs across the upper panel, and the large numeral 55 fills the lower one, which makes the route number the clear focal point. Two tones only, so the layout stays crisp and uncluttered.

Meaning & Symbolism

Route markers told drivers which numbered road they were on, and this design reproduces that familiar signage. The 1948 date places it in the postwar period, when Minnesota's highway markers were being updated and standardised. The state name anchors the sign to the region, so it stands as a tribute to the road network that carried travellers across the state in the years after the Second World War.

A Sign Held Close

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

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.
