Iowa 118 1926 Pint Glass - Design Overview

This pint glass celebrates the early days of Iowa's highway system, specifically the now-historic Iowa State Highway 118 as it appeared in 1926. The design is a direct visual tribute to the road signs of that era, capturing the simplicity and functionality of early road markings.

Design Elements

The central design element is a faithful representation of the original Iowa 118 route marker. The sign is rendered in the classic style of 1926: a clean, rectangular shape with a bright white background. Prominently displayed is the black number "118" in a bold, easily legible font, echoing the need for clear visibility for drivers on the roads.

At the top of the sign, the word "IOWA" is displayed, further anchoring the design in its historical context. This detail is crucial; it identifies the sign as belonging to the Iowa state system of the time, and adds a layer of authenticity.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design speaks to a time of growth and innovation in transportation. It represents the early efforts to build a standardized and navigable highway system, making travel easier and safer across the state. The simplicity of the design reflects the straightforwardness of early road marking, highlighting the focus on utility and function.

The sign is a symbol of a bygone era, recalling the romance of the open road, the development of infrastructure, and the evolution of American life during the Roaring Twenties. It is a subtle nod to the enduring legacy of Iowa's roadways and its contribution to the nation's transportation network.

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.
