MN-81 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A flat black-and-white road sign reading MINNESOTA over the route number 81, set inside a rounded-corner square badge.

Visual Elements & Composition

White is the dominant tone, and black supplies the badge outline, the horizontal divider and the lettering. The state name sits in the upper band and the numeral 81 fills the lower band, with the divider holding them apart. The arrangement is centred and direct, with no decoration beyond the sign shape. The number is the largest mark on the sign and draws the eye first.

Meaning & Symbolism

The sign reflects the marker style of 1948, when Minnesota routes were signed with plain lettering and a clear number. The state name confirmed the jurisdiction, and the route number told a driver which road they were on. The design belongs to the years before the state's blue and gold markers, and it records how roads were identified in the post-war period.

Sitting on the Shot Glass

On a shot glass the badge is small enough to hold close, and the divider and number read as a neat detail. The black lettering sits clearly against the clear glass, and the number comes into focus when the glass is lifted and set back on the bar.

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.
