GR KOK - Sign PI89 - new - sample 01 - BIL VCT (Greece) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz
This design takes a single technical sign from Greece and gives it the plain, direct presence of an official-looking identifier, with its code set front and centre.
Visual Elements & Composition
The layout is built from typography rather than imagery. The PI89 series identifier leads, supported by the BIL VCT designation and the sample 01 reference, each set as a structured line of characters. Nothing decorative competes with the code. The arrangement reads like a sign face: clear, evenly spaced, and organised so each alphanumeric block can be read at a glance.
Meaning & Symbolism
The meaning sits in the coding itself. Signage systems depend on short, exact designations that let a reader identify one object among many, and this piece follows that logic. The GR and Greece markers anchor the work to a Greek context, and the series numbering points to a sequence of sample designs within a broader set. The mood is neutral and informative, reflecting the functional purpose of road signage rather than any ornamental flourish.
On the Mixing Glass
A mixing glass is a tall, straight-sided vessel that you lift and turn in the hand, so the design is read by rotating the glass rather than taking in a flat face. The sign's lines run in a single band that stays legible as the glass moves, which suits a vessel handled this way. Its clear body lets the characters sit against the drink itself, so the code remains visible whether the glass is full or empty. For a gift, it is a quiet joke for anyone who has ever wondered what a road sign's serial number was really for.

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.
- Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
- Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
- 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.
