Iowa 153 1926 (Iowa) Pint Glass - Design

This pint glass celebrates the history of Iowa's roadways, specifically the original designation of Iowa Highway 153 in 1926. The design directly reflects the iconic highway signage of that era, offering a glimpse into Iowa's rich transportation past.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central design element is a faithful representation of the original 1926 Iowa highway sign. The artwork replicates the circular shape adopted by the state during the highway renumbering of that year. The white circle, a standard feature for primary roads, provides the backdrop for the key information.

The words "Iowa" are prominently displayed at the top of the circle, as was the custom. Below, and centered within the circle, is the highway number "153", rendered in a classic, period-appropriate typeface. This straightforward layout embodies the era's focus on clarity and easy navigation for drivers.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design of the glass is not just a visual representation; it's a symbolic link to Iowa's history. It evokes the early days of automobile travel and the growth of the state's transportation infrastructure. The "1926" element anchors the design in a specific point in time, highlighting the significant renumbering undertaken to align with the new U.S. Highway system.

The sign itself symbolizes the network of roads that connected communities and fostered economic development within Iowa. It also pays homage to the legacy of those who contributed to the planning and construction of these vital routes.

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.
