Indiana 220 (1948) Pint Glass - Design Overview

This pint glass celebrates a piece of Indiana's transportation history, specifically the short-lived State Road 220 as it existed in 1948. The design is a faithful recreation of the era's road signage, offering a glimpse into the past.

Visual Elements

The design features the classic white square highway shield with a bold black outline, mirroring the common signage of the period. At the top, the word "INDIANA" is rendered in a small, understated black font, a subtle nod to the state's authority over the road. Centered prominently within the shield, the route number "220" is displayed in large, black numerals, clearly identifying the specific highway. The use of black on white is a classic, high-contrast design intended for immediate legibility, an important attribute in traffic control.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design's primary significance lies in its historical accuracy. It represents the brief existence of SR 220, a connector route that served the Logansport State Hospital in the late 1940s. The sign, as reproduced here, is a symbol of a bygone era in Indiana's road system, a time before the widespread use of reflective materials and the standardization of modern signage. It speaks to a simpler time when roads and their markings were functional and straightforward. The minimalist style, with its stark contrast and focus on clarity, directly reflects the design philosophy of the period, prioritizing practicality over ornamentation. It is a nostalgic reminder of the infrastructure of the past, including an important element of the history of the Logansport State Hospital.

Clear 16 oz (≈0.47 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 — durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside — 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 / ≈0.47 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 — 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.
