CT 86 1948 (Connecticut) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass design evokes the nostalgia of a bygone era, featuring a visual representation of a "CT 86" road sign from 1948 Connecticut. The artwork captures the essence of mid-century Americana and the early days of state highway signage.

The Road Sign Imagery

The central element is a shield-shaped route marker, a classic symbol of road navigation. "CT" prominently displayed, identifies it as a Connecticut state route. The number "86" within the shield would have denoted the specific route number. This simple yet powerful design is intended to communicate a sense of place and direction, reflecting the historical importance of the state's roadways.

Design Symbolism and Meaning

The design's simplicity echoes the design aesthetics of the 1940s. The artwork reflects the idea of history and transport. The road sign design is a classic symbol of travel, movement, and the open road. The design therefore encapsulates the sense of exploration and adventure that has always been associated with driving.

While the existence of an official "CT 86" in 1948 is questionable, this design represents the historical possibility and the visual language of the era, offering a conversation piece to road sign and history enthusiasts alike.

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.
