1926 Illinois 160 Pint Glass Design

This pint glass design celebrates the iconic road signs of early Illinois highways. It showcases the distinctive "state-outline" design that was used during the 1920s through the 1940s, a design that evokes a sense of nostalgia for the early days of automobile travel and the establishment of a state-wide road system.

Artwork & Visual Elements

The design is a faithful representation of an original 1926 Illinois Route 160 road sign. The central element is the outline of the state of Illinois, precisely cut and forming the primary shape of the artwork. Within this shape, the route number "160" is prominently displayed in large, bold, black numerals. Above the number, the word "ILLINOIS" is arched slightly in black uppercase letters. A thin black outline meticulously traces the perimeter of the state, mirroring the original sign's border.

Meaning & Symbolism

The design serves as a visual ode to Illinois's rich transportation history. The state-shaped shield itself represents the geographical and jurisdictional boundary, firmly planting the road's significance within the state. The route number, "160," signifies a specific pathway, connecting communities and facilitating travel. This design harkens back to a time of simpler road signage, before standardization and the modern era of highway design. The black on white contrast is intentionally created for high visibility. It represents the pride of Illinois, and the sense of adventure and freedom associated with the open road during the early 20th century.

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.
