About this design
China County Road X773
China County Road X773 (China) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz
This design takes a single route marker, the X773 county road plate in China, and turns it into a bold, graphic tribute to the small signs that quietly guide everyday travel.
Visual Elements & Composition
The artwork is flat and minimal, built almost entirely from white and black. White fills roughly four-fifths of the field, giving the design an open, uncluttered feel, while black takes the remaining fifth in the characters and border. At its centre sits the designation X773, set as four bold black characters inside a rounded-rectangle frame. The letters and numerals are the whole story: no illustration, no ornament, just the route identifier presented the way a road sign presents it, plain and easy to read at a glance.
Meaning & Symbolism
A county road marker exists to answer one question for a driver: where am I, and where does this lead? The X773 designation stands for exactly that kind of wayfinding, a local code that tells travellers they are on a specific, named route within a particular region. The design honours that role of signage as civic infrastructure, the unglamorous system that keeps rural and regional roads navigable. Its reference point is China and its county road network, so the artwork reads as a celebration of one place's geography rather than a generic road motif.
Designed for the Pint Glass
A pint glass is a tall, curved surface that you hold, turn and rest against your palm, so the marker wraps around the vessel rather than sitting flat before the eye. As the glass is turned, the rounded-rectangle frame and the X773 characters pass across the curve, much like a sign glimpsed from a passing car. It is a fitting pairing: a plate built to be read in motion, carried onto a glass that is itself read one sip at a time.

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.
