MN-94 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A rounded-square road sign in black and white names MINNESOTA above a horizontal rule and marks the route number 94 below it.

Visual Elements & Composition

White covers about four-fifths of the panel and black supplies the rest, in the state name, the numeral and the dividing line. The layout is stacked and symmetrical, with the lettering centred so the sign reads as a single unit. Forms are flat and simple, with no gradient, texture or added illustration. The effect is that of a plain roadside plate, clear and immediate.

Meaning & Symbolism

A route marker is a navigation tool, and this one follows the convention Minnesota used for its numbered highways in the mid-twentieth century. Pairing the state name with a route number tells a driver which road they are on. The 1948 date places the sign in the postwar period, when states were standardising designations across expanding road networks. The piece stands as a record of that system and of the way highways were identified.

On a Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and is turned in the hand at close range, so the sign is seen up near the eye rather than from across a room. The curve of the glass carries the horizontal divider around the body, keeping the state name and route number visible together. It works well on a home bar shelf, where a plain roadside sign can sit beside other 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.
