Farm Security Administration - Frosted Pint Glass 16oz

This design sets the name of the Farm Security Administration inside a shield outline in black and white, in the manner of a mid-century government sign.

Visual Elements & Composition

The artwork is entirely monochrome, with white as the ground and black used for the lettering and outline. A shield form holds the composition, divided by a horizontal rule into lettered panels. The words DEPARTMENT OF and AGRICULTURE appear in the upper section, with FARM, SECURITY and ADMINISTRATION set beneath. The style is flat line art, with no shading and no ornament beyond the lettering and the shield, which keeps the wording easy to read.

Meaning & Symbolism

The shield and stacked lettering are the visual language of official government signage from the mid-twentieth century. The Farm Security Administration was a federal agency that worked with rural families and farm communities, and its records, including its famous photographic documentation of rural life, are a major part of the nation's historical archive. The design honours that public service and the role of the agency in recording the conditions of farm life during a period of major change.

Printed on a Pint Glass

A pint glass is a tall, curved vessel that is turned in the hand, so the shield wraps around the body and reads in sections as the glass is lifted and set down again. The frosted surface softens the black lettering into a quiet, archival tone, and the stacked words stay legible from the table.

Frosted pint glass (16 oz / ≈0.47 L) with a soft matte finish and semi-translucent, one-sided print. Tough enough for bar and restaurant use, dishwasher safe, and BPA-free — a modern take on classic pintware.

These pints are mouth-blown-style glass finished with a satin frost that mutes glare and gives art a soft, tactile presence. The print sits atop the frosted surface to create a semi-see-through effect — the look subtly shifts depending on lighting and what's poured inside.

Because the print is slightly translucent, pale drinks let more light through and darker pours create stronger contrast. That interplay gives each serving a small visual surprise — useful in hospitality settings or retail displays where the drink and the glass play off each other.

  • Material: 100% glass with a matte, frosted finish for a low-reflective, premium feel.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint, ≈0.47 L).
  • Print: one-sided wraparound, semi-translucent finish that changes with light and liquid.
  • Care: dishwasher-safe for everyday service (see Care tab for tips).
  • Use cases: retail shelves, bar service, event glassware, or merch racks — suitable for single units or larger orders.

These glasses work well for chilled beers, craft pours, iced cocktails and cold brew — anywhere you want an elegant, understated presentation. The frosted surface hides minor fingerprints and softens the silhouette of the drink inside.

  1. Serve: fill with cold beverages; the semi-translucent print will interact with the drink color for subtle variation.
  2. Display: stack or line them on back bar shelving where soft lighting emphasizes the frosted texture.
  3. Stocking: sell individually or as a set; their neutral look fits many menu styles and venue aesthetics.

Tip: if you plan themed pours (pale ales, lagers, dark stouts), test a sample to see how each drink’s hue changes the printed artwork’s visibility.

Dishwasher-safe for routine cleaning — use a standard household cycle and avoid very high-heat commercial programs when possible. Placing glasses mouth-down on the rack reduces risk of chipping during wash cycles.

For best longevity, hand-wash with warm water and mild detergent and dry immediately with a lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive scouring pads and harsh chemical cleaners that can dull the frosted finish or wear printed areas over time.
