Colorado 171 1946 Pint Glass Design

This pint glass celebrates the classic aesthetic of the 1946 Colorado State Highway 171 road sign, a design that embodies the state's post-war era of standardized and durable highway signage.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The artwork faithfully recreates the black and white color scheme and layout of the original sign. The design features a bold, high-contrast appearance that echoes the functional design of the period.

At the top of the design, the word "COLORADO" is displayed in a clean, simple block-style font, a testament to the era's emphasis on legibility and ease of reading. Centered below, the route number "171" is presented in large, impactful numerals, reflecting the sign's primary function of clear route identification.

The design also replicates the sign's rectangular shape with rounded corners. The overall effect is a clean and functional design that reflects the era's focus on practicality and durability.

Meaning and Symbolism

The artwork directly represents the historical "black shield" era of Colorado's highway signage. The design symbolizes the state's commitment to standardized and legible route markers during the mid-20th century. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for a period of simpler road travel and the enduring infrastructure of the American West.

This design serves as a tribute to the legacy of Colorado's road systems and its evolution of the state highway sign design. The design symbolizes a commitment to standardization and durability, hallmarks of the road sign's era.

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.
