MN-88 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A rectangular road-sign panel stamped with MINNESOTA above the route number 88 gives this shot glass its whole design.

Visual Elements & Composition

White fills most of the surface, around eighty-five percent by the artwork's own measure, with black supplying the lettering and the dividing rule. The panel is a square with softened corners, split horizontally so the state name sits on top and the numeral below. Nothing decorative intrudes: no border ornament, no illustration, only crisp flat shapes and bold characters that stay legible at a glance.

Meaning & Symbolism

The sign borrows the visual grammar of American state highway markers, where a route number and a state name tell a driver exactly where they are. Here the number 88 is set against Minnesota, and the 1948 date places the sign in the mid-century era when numbered routes were being standardised across the country. The result reads as a small piece of regional record, a designation that means something to anyone who has driven those roads.

In the Hand

A shot glass is lifted close and tipped back in a single motion, so the sign is seen up near the eye rather than from across a room. The curve of the glass wraps the panel and carries the lettering around the body, which keeps the state name and route number in view when the glass is held up to the light. It is a quiet, graphic souvenir for a home bar or a shelf of travel keepsakes.

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.
