Illinois 5 1950 Pint Glass Design

This pint glass features a design inspired by an Illinois road sign from 1950. The artwork evokes a sense of mid-century Americana and the early days of highway travel in the state.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element of the design is a representation of "Illinois 5" as it might have appeared on a road sign in 1950. The precise format depends on the type of sign the design aims to emulate (Route, SBI, or border sign).

The design may feature a classic route marker shape, potentially incorporating the outline of the state of Illinois with the number "5" prominently displayed within. Alternatively, the design could emulate the text of a border sign, perhaps including the wording "Illinois 5" or "State 5," depending on the specific sign type.

The color palette is critical to the visual effect. Authentic color schemes from the era are likely to be used. Colors might include white text or numerals on a dark background or dark text on a lighter field.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents the historical significance of Illinois's roadways in the mid-20th century. "Illinois 5" acts as a portal, reminding of the state's infrastructure development, its transportation network, and the culture of travel associated with the era.

The design embodies a nostalgic theme for those who appreciate history, road trips, and the vintage aesthetic of a simpler time.

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.
