Illinois 113 1950 (Illinois) Road Sign Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases a design inspired by an Illinois Route 113 highway sign from the 1950s. The artwork seeks to capture the aesthetic of signage from that era, evoking a sense of nostalgia for classic American road trips and the early days of Illinois's highway system.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element of the design is the route marker itself. It features the bold number "113" prominently displayed, likely in a classic font style reminiscent of the mid-20th century. Above the route number, the word "ILLINOIS" is placed, a key feature of state route markers from that period.

The design emulates the likely form of a sign that could be a rectangular or shield-like shape, that would have historically been used for this route. It may also incorporate elements suggesting the reflective materials and possibly a cut-out design typical of some signs from that era.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design of the Illinois 113 sign is a symbol of travel, connection, and the history of Illinois’s infrastructure. The route itself, running through the state from east to west, represents journeys and the movement of people and goods. The 1950s era brings with it the association with the post-war boom and the development of the American highway system.

The sign signifies a specific moment in time and connects the design to an era of innovation and progress in transportation. It is designed to resonate with those who appreciate vintage designs, the historical aspects of Illinois, and the romance of the open road.

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.
