Illinois 87 1950 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass design celebrates the historical road signage of Illinois, specifically the state route marker for Illinois Route 87 as it may have appeared around 1950. The artwork directly references the classic visual language of mid-20th century road signs.

Artwork Elements

The central element of the design is the iconic Illinois state route marker. This typically features the word "ILLINOIS" prominently displayed, often in a bold, sans-serif font across the top. Beneath this, the route number "87" is showcased, signifying the specific state highway.

The 1950 reference suggests a design aesthetic rooted in that era. Signage from the 1950s in Illinois often featured specific typefaces and reflective materials. The design may incorporate a vintage color palette, reflective elements, or a specific typography to evoke the feel of the original sign from the period.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design serves as a nostalgic tribute to the history of Illinois's roadways. It symbolizes the state's transportation infrastructure and represents a bygone era of travel. The presence of the "87" specifically indicates a portion of the state's highway system.

For those familiar with road signs and Illinois, the artwork evokes a sense of journey and exploration. It might bring back memories of traveling on IL 87, or suggest the spirit of driving through Illinois' towns and landscapes.

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.
