Iowa 102 1926 Pint Glass Design

This pint glass design celebrates a piece of Iowa's rich transportation history, featuring the iconic road sign for Iowa Highway 102 as it appeared in 1926. The artwork is a direct tribute to the era of early highway standardization and the dawn of modern long-distance travel across the United States.

Visual Elements

The design faithfully recreates the classic elements of the 1926 Iowa Highway 102 road sign. The central focus is the circular shield shape, a common symbol of authority and direction found in road signage. The text "IOWA" is elegantly arched at the top, perfectly framing the bold numerical designation "102" centered below. This clean and straightforward layout is characteristic of the period's commitment to clear, easily readable road markers.

Color and Symbolism

The color scheme, which typically consisted of black text on a white background, is reproduced in this design. This stark contrast ensured maximum visibility and legibility, even in varying light conditions. The simplicity of the design, using only two colors, further emphasizes the era's focus on practicality and clear communication. The sign itself represents a commitment to organized travel, representing a network built to connect communities and facilitate movement within the state of Iowa and, by extension, the larger national highway system.

This design is more than just a representation of a road sign; it's a window into the past, offering a visual connection to a time when paved roads and standardized signage were transforming the way people experienced travel and mobility.

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.
