Colorado 118 1946 Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases a design that's a direct homage to a piece of Colorado's transportation history: the "Colorado 118" road sign from the mid-20th century. The artwork replicates the aesthetic of a vintage highway route marker, specifically from around the 1940s.

Visual Elements & Meaning

The design prominently features the words "COLORADO" arched across the top, rendered in a bold, block-style font that was typical of the era. Beneath this, the number "118" is displayed, also in a simple, clear font, to ensure optimal readability. The use of black-and-white reflects the utilitarian design sensibilities of the time, where clarity and function were prioritized over elaborate decoration.

The overall shape of the design mirrors the shield-like form of the original road sign. This shape, combined with the state name and route number, immediately identifies the design as representing a state highway.

Historical Significance & Symbolism

This artwork is more than just a visual representation; it's a symbolic link to Colorado's past. The "118" route, as represented by this design, no longer exists under that designation. The glass becomes a relic, a tangible connection to a time when travel and signage looked vastly different. It speaks to the evolution of transportation planning and highway design.

For those interested in history, the design serves as a reminder of how state highway systems evolve and how routes can be renumbered, reassigned, or even decommissioned over time. It represents a bygone era of straightforward design.

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.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. 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.
