About this design
Carretera doble calzada nacional
Carretera doble calzada nacional (Colombia) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz
This design reduces a Colombian national dual carriageway to two bold red lines on a white field, a clean graphic image of a divided highway running on toward the horizon.
Visual Elements & Composition
White fills roughly three-quarters of the design, with red taking the remaining quarter. Two vertical red bars dominate the layout, set side by side as flat, rectangular shapes with no shading or detail. The stripes repeat the structure of a divided road, with each bar standing for one carriageway and the white space between them standing for the separation. Nothing else competes for attention: there is no text, no numerals and no decorative border, so the eye lands on the rhythm of the two bars.
Meaning & Symbolism
The design draws on the highway infrastructure that links Colombia's regions, a theme of travel, civil engineering and long-distance connection. Two parallel carriageways carry traffic in opposite directions, so the image speaks to order and movement at once. Its modern, minimal style reflects a contemporary approach to road-sign graphics, where information is reduced to colour and form so it reads at a glance.
On the Mixing Glass
A mixing glass is a tall, curved vessel held in one hand and turned as you work, so the design wraps around that curve rather than sitting still on a flat face. As the glass is lifted and tilted, the two red bars shift against the white, and the road appears to move with the drink. It is a quiet, graphic piece that suits a glass used every day for stirring and pouring.

Clear 16 oz (≈0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel — durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.
These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside — color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.
Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.
- Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
- Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / ≈0.47 L).
- Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
- Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
- Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.
Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.
- Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
- Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
- Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.
Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters — handy when serving multiple drinks at once.
These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.
Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
