I-675 OH Metric (Ohio) Road Sign Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass celebrates a unique moment in American transportation history, specifically the U.S. metrication experiment of the 1970s and 1980s, focusing on the I-675 route around Dayton, Ohio. The artwork is a faithful visual representation of the road signage seen during this period.

The Central Element: The Interstate Shield

The design prominently features the classic Interstate shield. The top banner, in a vibrant red, boldly displays "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering. Below, the main field is a deep blue, providing a striking contrast to the large white numerals "675." A white border cleanly outlines the entire shield, creating a defined visual frame.

Contextual Elements: Ohio and Metrication

The design subtly incorporates the context of Ohio. The "OHIO" state name is included, likely positioned above or below the shield. Surrounding the shield, the design hints at the metric experiment. While the shield itself remains in the familiar design, the design represents how the surrounding guide signs would have been altered. This is a clever visualization of the era’s attempts to transition to the metric system, reflecting the display of distances and speed limits in kilometers on associated signs.

Symbolism and Meaning

This design serves as a nostalgic nod to a period of experimentation and change. The Interstate shield, a symbol of American mobility and infrastructure, is given a historical twist. It's a conversation starter, reminding viewers of a time when the U.S. considered a shift to the metric system and how that changed our signs. It’s a testament to the ever-evolving nature of transportation and how signage reflects those changes.

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.
