Illinois 89A 1926 Pint Glass - Design Description

The Essence of a Bygone Era

This pint glass encapsulates the spirit of early highway exploration in Illinois, evoking the nascent days of the state's numbered road system. The design centers around a representation of the "Illinois 89A 1926" road sign, a nod to a possible, yet elusive, route designation from the mid-1920s. This specific identifier implies a connection to a primary route (likely Illinois Route 89) through a spur, alternate, or auxiliary designation, marked by the "A" suffix.

Visual Representation

The artwork likely replicates the style of road signage prevalent around 1926. This would likely involve a bold, clear font for the route number and state designation ("ILLINOIS"). The year "1926" may be prominently displayed, commemorating the period of the state's initial highway system. Colors are likely inspired by historical signage, with a potentially simple color palette that contrasts for legibility. The design's intention is to resemble a vintage road sign, transported directly onto the surface of the glass.

Symbolism

The design carries a strong sense of nostalgia for a pivotal period in American history. It symbolizes the spirit of exploration, the early days of road travel, and the evolution of transportation infrastructure in Illinois. The potential mystery surrounding the specific route "89A" adds an element of intrigue and invites viewers to consider the untold stories of forgotten roads and the journeys they once facilitated.

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.
