I-170 MD 1957 (Maryland) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass design pays homage to the original 1957 Interstate signage system, specifically the planned but never fully realized I-170 in Baltimore, Maryland. The artwork centers around a faithful reproduction of the I-170 road sign as it would have appeared under the original Interstate design standards.

The Interstate Shield: A Symbol of Connection

At the heart of the design is the iconic Interstate shield. The top band, emblazoned with "INTERSTATE" in bold white lettering against a vibrant red backdrop, signifies the national network of highways. Below, the main field presents a deep blue canvas, the official color of Interstate routes. Dominating this blue field are the large white numerals "170," representing the designated route number. The shield's clean, white border provides a crisp definition, ensuring clarity and visual impact.

Maryland Connection

Adding local context, the design might optionally feature the state name "MARYLAND" (though not a requirement) associated with the shield, providing geographical context and linking the design directly to the state where the I-170 spur was planned.

Directional Guidance

Above the primary shield, a separate plate displays the directional guidance: "NORTH / SOUTH." This element reflects the function of I-170 as a north-south connector, intended to facilitate the flow of traffic within the city.

Meaning and Symbolism

The overall design represents a nostalgic nod to a bygone era of highway construction and the ambition to connect communities. It embodies the spirit of the 1950s, a time when the Interstate system was reshaping the American landscape. The shield itself serves as a symbol of travel, movement, and the infrastructure that binds the nation together.

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.
