Illinois 1 1950 (Illinois) Road Sign Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass celebrates the classic look of the Illinois Route 1 road sign as it appeared around 1950. The artwork faithfully recreates the iconic visual elements of this historic marker.

Design Elements

The design features the word "ILLINOIS" boldly displayed across the top in a clear, easy-to-read font. Beneath it, the number "1" is prominently centered, representing Illinois Route 1 itself. The entire design is set against a bright, clean white background, creating high contrast for easy visibility.

A simple yet impactful black border frames the design, further emphasizing the route number and state name. This border is a key element of the era's signage style, providing a clean and professional appearance.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design is a direct representation of an official Illinois state highway route marker. The presence of the "ILLINOIS" name is a clear identifier, signaling the state to drivers. The "1" inside the sign indicates a specific route within the state's road network - Illinois Route 1.

This design serves as a nostalgic nod to a specific moment in Illinois's transportation history, when roads and their signage played an important part in the daily lives of people. It evokes memories of a simpler time, when driving on these roads was a more unique experience.

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.
