Illinois 119A 1926 Pint Glass Design

This pint glass design pays homage to a forgotten piece of Illinois road history: the elusive Illinois Route 119A. The artwork captures the ephemeral nature of this short-lived auxiliary route, reflecting the early days of Illinois's highway system.

Visual Elements

The design features the route designation "119A" prominently displayed within a shield-shaped panel. This replicates the style of Illinois route markers from the mid-1920s. Above the number, the word "ILLINOIS" (or its abbreviation "ILL.") is integrated into the design, echoing the authentic signage of the era. The color scheme adheres to the known conventions of early 20th-century highway signs, with black numerals and lettering on a light (likely white or pale) background. A simple border frames the entire design, providing definition.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents the evolving nature of transportation infrastructure and the history of Illinois's road network. The inclusion of "119A" specifically acknowledges the role of auxiliary routes, highlighting the connections and alternatives that once existed. The use of the 1926-era sign style is a nod to the historical period, and to the less-standardized, more straightforward signs of the early motoring age. The design celebrates a moment in time—the short-lived existence of this specific route—and preserves a fragment of Illinois's transportation past.

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.
