Iowa 116 1926 Pint Glass - Design Overview

This pint glass celebrates the early days of Iowa's highway system, specifically the original State Highway 116 as it existed in 1926. The artwork is a faithful visual representation of the road signs that guided motorists across Iowa's landscapes nearly a century ago.

Sign Design & Representation

The central element of the design is the bold display of the number "116" in a classic font, rendered in black. This reflects the standardized numbering system used by Iowa in 1926 to identify its highways. The prominent number ensured easy readability and recognition for drivers.

The design adheres to the typical aesthetic of the era. The route number is presented on a white background, evoking the simple yet effective design of Iowa's first numbered highway markers. The addition of "IOWA" at the top, a subtle nod to the state that this sign represented, further grounds the design in its historical context.

Symbolism and Meaning

The artwork encapsulates a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time, when the open road and the freedom of travel were becoming increasingly accessible to all. The sign represents the early efforts to standardize road signage and the birth of a formalized highway system.

The design symbolizes the interconnectedness of communities within Iowa and the vital role that highways played in commerce, communication, and exploration. The presentation on a pint glass connects the historical marker to the modern experience, offering a way for individuals to appreciate this historical moment.

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.
