CT 17A 1948 (Connecticut) Road Sign Pint Glass - Design

This pint glass celebrates the history of Connecticut Route 17A with a design that evokes the spirit of 1948. The artwork prominently features the iconic Connecticut state highway shield, a hallmark of the state's road system.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element of the design is the "17A" highway shield, rendered in a style reminiscent of mid-20th-century road signage. The distinctive shield shape, a classic symbol of Connecticut state highways, is immediately recognizable. The bold "17A" designation, the route identifier, is prominently displayed, signifying the specific route.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design of the "CT 17A 1948" pint glass is a visual tribute to the renumbering of Connecticut's highway system in 1948. It represents the historical moment when Route 17A was officially established, replacing the previous designations of Route 15 or 15A. The artwork commemorates the evolution of the road system and the important role Route 17A played in connecting the town of Portland.

The design serves as a nostalgic reminder of the post-war era of road travel and the enduring legacy of Connecticut's highway infrastructure. It is a subtle nod to the enduring design language of road signs.

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.
