I-290 MA 1961 (Massachusetts) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases a design inspired by the 1961 I-290 road signs found in Massachusetts. The artwork pays homage to the early days of the Interstate Highway System, specifically the auxiliary route that connects Worcester to the Mass Pike and I-495 corridor.

Classic Interstate Shield

The centerpiece of the design is the iconic Interstate shield, a symbol instantly recognizable to travelers. The shield's shape, slightly updated from the original 1957 version, is a bold representation of the highway system itself.

Color Palette and Lettering

The color scheme adheres to the classic Interstate standards: a vibrant red banner at the top announces "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering. Below, a striking blue field anchors the design, displaying the large white numerals "290" at its center. This combination of red, white, and blue represents the interstate's identity and visual authority.

State and Directional Elements

The design incorporates the state abbreviation "MA" in smaller text within the border or on a separate element to identify the state where the highway is located. The inclusion of directional information, such as "EAST" or "WEST," above or below the shield, signifies the direction of travel, offering a sense of movement and destination.

Historical Significance

The overall design reflects the mid-century modern aesthetic of early American roadways, a time when the Interstate system was reshaping transportation and connecting communities. This design is a nostalgic tribute to a bygone era of road travel and a celebration of a vital Massachusetts highway.

Clear 16 oz (β‰ˆ0.47 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 β€” durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside β€” 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 / β‰ˆ0.47 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 β€” 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.
