Illinois 13 1950 Pint Glass Design

This pint glass celebrates the design aesthetic of a historic Illinois Route 13 road sign, circa 1950. The artwork is a faithful representation of the signage that would have guided travelers along the southern Illinois corridor during that era.

Visual Elements & Representation

The design prominently features the number "13," denoting Illinois Route 13, the state highway it signifies. Above the route number, the word "ILLINOIS" is clearly displayed, reinforcing the state identification. The sign's design harkens back to the simpler, yet functional, approach of early highway signage.

The artwork is a nod to a time when signs weren't as complex as modern ones. It represents a piece of Illinois's transportation history, serving as a reminder of the state's evolution in infrastructure and road navigation. The design symbolizes the guidance and reassurance a driver would have received, knowing they were on the correct route.

Historical Context

The design reflects the era's materials and design trends, perhaps using the simple, clean lines characteristic of the time. The choice of displaying “ILLINOIS” prominently over or near “13” is rooted in that period, signifying the importance of establishing state routes. This glass is a small tribute to the state’s early highway infrastructure and its visual language.

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.
