I-68 WV Metric (Virginia) (Road Sign) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass design pays homage to a nonexistent piece of American highway history: an I-68 interstate sign indicating metric units in West Virginia or Virginia. The artwork cleverly utilizes the iconic visual language of U.S. Interstate highway signage while acknowledging the historical absence of metrication along this particular route.

Standard Interstate Shield with a Twist

The central element of the design is a faithful representation of the standard Interstate shield. A bold red top bar arches above a blue field. In crisp white lettering, "INTERSTATE" is emblazoned across the red, mirroring the established Interstate design. The blue field proclaims "WEST VIRGINIA" (or VIRGINIA if it were located there), also in white, accurately identifying the state.

The Absence Makes a Statement

The focal point of the sign, the large white numerals โ€œ68,โ€ is the signature identifier for this specific highway. However, the true significance lies in the absence of a detail. Due to the lack of metric signage ever being adopted in West Virginia and Virginia, the design highlights what is NOT present. This fictional, yet historically poignant, sign design provides an interesting โ€œwhat ifโ€ perspective.

This design serves as a unique conversation starter and a nod to a particular era of transportation history. It encapsulates both the practicality of clear direction while creating an interesting statement on the history of road signs in the United States.

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

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