Illinois 89 1950 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases a nostalgic piece of Illinois history: the Illinois Route 89 highway marker as it likely appeared in the 1950s. The design evokes a bygone era of road travel and the simplicity of mid-century design.

Visual Elements & Representation

The artwork replicates the historical state route marker. At the top, "ILLINOIS" is prominently displayed, reflecting the state's pride and identity. Beneath this, the route number, "89," is clearly presented, serving as the identifier for this specific north-south highway.

The design adheres to the typical aesthetic of 1950s road signage: black or dark numerals likely set against a light background (perhaps white or a retroreflective material). The entire image is enclosed within a bordered rectangle or shield shape, echoing the common design standards of the time.

Meaning & Symbolism

The "Illinois 89 1950" design is more than just a depiction of a road sign; it is a symbol of a particular period in American history. It represents the growth of the nation's highway system, the simplicity of design from the era, and a bygone time of travel. It is a visual artifact of the evolution of infrastructure and design, encapsulating the spirit of mid-20th-century Illinois.

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.
