Inicio carretera nacional inexistente (Colombia) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz
A single red bar stands upright on a white field, marking the starting point of a national highway that exists only in the imagination.
Visual Elements & Composition
White fills most of the frame, with red taking up a tenth of the surface and black appearing only as a thin outline. A narrow vertical rectangle sits at the centre, its black edge enclosing a column of solid red that reads like a thermometer or a gauge. The layout is spare and flat, built from clean vector shapes with no text and no numerals, so the eye goes straight up the column.
Meaning & Symbolism
The title sets the terms: this is the inception of a road that was never mapped or documented. The upright bar works as a km-zero marker, a sign planted at the beginning of a journey before any route has been drawn. The red fill suggests momentum rising inside a fixed frame, and the black outline keeps that energy contained. The original artwork is an artistic interpretation of a conceptual highway journey set in Colombia, and it draws on imagined cartography, surrealism and the idea of territory that exists only in creative thought.
On the Mixing Glass
A tall, narrow mixing glass is a vessel built around one vertical line, so a design organised on a single column suits its shape exactly. Held in the hand and turned slowly, the red bar stays upright as the glass moves, and the white field gives the eye a clean surface to rest on. The glass is stirred first and poured after, and the marker stands at the start of that sequence, just as the road in the title begins at its own first sign.

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.
- Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
- Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
- 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.
