I-95 VA Metric (Virginia) (Road Sign) Pint Glass Design

Visual Representation

This pint glass design pays homage to a unique moment in American transportation history: the I-95 corridor in Virginia during the U.S. metrication experiment of the 1970s and 1980s. The artwork directly replicates the iconic Interstate 95 road sign, but with a specific historical context.

Artwork Details

The central element of the design is the classic Interstate shield. The top band is rendered in a vibrant red, boldly displaying "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering. Below, the main field of the shield is a deep blue, housing the large, white numeral "95", representing the Interstate route itself. The entire shield is framed by a clean white outline, defining its shape and providing visual contrast. The presence of the shield itself symbolizes the vital transportation network that links communities and facilitates travel along the eastern seaboard of the United States.

Metric Context and Meaning

This design specifically represents the era when distances were measured in kilometers. While the shield itself remained unchanged during the metrication, the accompanying guide signs would have displayed distances and other information using metric units. Therefore, this design is both a nod to the Interstate system's iconography and a remembrance of an attempt to transition to the metric system within the United States. The design is a celebration of the unique aesthetic of that historical time, where a common and familiar design element (the road sign) was used to convey information about the adoption of a different measuring system, and the changes in signage. It provides a visual memory of that time, through the use of the Interstate shield and its familiar colors.

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.
