MO-5 1948 (Missouri) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A high-contrast black and white design that sets the outline of Missouri beside a route shield numbered 5.

Visual Elements & Composition

White dominates the field, and black draws the state outline, the route shield and the label band. The state shape is the main mark, with the shield placed against it so the two read as a pair. The only words are MISSOURI and the numeral 5. The arrangement is centred and plain, with no decoration beyond the shapes, and the strong contrast keeps every element legible at a small size.

Meaning & Symbolism

The state outline names the place, and the shield with its numeral takes the form of a highway route marker, the sign that tells a driver which road they are on. Mid-century states used this combination to build a shared visual language for their roads. The 1948 date in the title places the design in the post-war period, when Missouri's highway network was expanding and its route markers were a familiar sight.

On a Close Turn

A shot glass is small and held close, so the state outline and shield are read at arm's length, where the crisp black lines stand out against the clear glass.

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.
