Illinois 108 1950 (Illinois) Road Sign Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass celebrates a piece of Illinois transportation history, evoking the charm of mid-20th century road travel. The artwork replicates a vintage Illinois Route 108 highway marker, transporting the viewer back in time to the 1950s.

Design Elements

The design features a faithful rendition of a 1950s-era Illinois highway sign. The familiar shape, likely a classic square with rounded corners, is outlined by a stylized black border, typical of the period. At the top of the sign, the word "ILLINOIS" is boldly and prominently displayed, a nod to the state's identity and pride.

Beneath the state name, the route number "108" is emblazoned, crafted in a classic font common to signage of that era. The numbers are rendered in a style that is both functional and iconic, capturing the feel of a bygone era of American road trips and the evolution of transportation infrastructure.

Meaning and Symbolism

The imagery invokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time when road travel was a significant part of American culture. The sign signifies exploration, travel, and the open road, representing the freedom and adventure associated with early highway travel.

The reproduction of the Illinois Route 108 marker symbolizes a specific place and time. For those familiar with Illinois, the sign may also represent local pride, community identity, and the appreciation for state history. The design itself acts as a conversation starter, sparking memories of family vacations, cross-country drives, and a love for the open 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.
