Connecticut Highway 49A Pint Glass - Design

This pint glass celebrates the elusive Connecticut Highway 49A, a road designation that existed more in the archives than on the asphalt. The artwork pays homage to this historical obscurity, focusing on the visual representation of the route.

The Shield

The central element of the design features the iconic Connecticut state route shield. This familiar shape, a black and white shield with a number within, is instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with Connecticut roads. However, this shield is unique. Instead of the usual "49," the artwork subtly incorporates an "A" alongside the "49". This addition subtly hints at the designation's auxiliary nature and its connection to the main Route 49.

Historical Context

The design's muted color palette and aged appearance evoke the passage of time and the administrative nature of Route 49A. The design aims to capture the idea of a designation that existed more in records than on the road itself. The inclusion of the route number is a nod to its historical importance.

A Collector's Item

This design serves as a tribute to road history, memorializing a designation that faded from official road signs, it's a piece of quiet appreciation for forgotten history. The pint glass's design is therefore intended to be a conversation piece for road enthusiasts, historians, and anyone with an appreciation for the details of Connecticut's transportation history.

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.
