Iowa 153 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz - Design

This pint glass celebrates the history of Iowa Highway 153, a retired state route, through its design. The artwork focuses on the visual language of road signage, specifically the design elements associated with Iowa state highways.

Signage Representation

The central design element is a faithful representation of an Iowa state highway shield, likely based on the historical design. This shield is the primary visual identifier, immediately conveying the subject matter: a specific piece of Iowa's transportation history. The number "153" would be prominently displayed within the shield, using the characteristic font and colors mandated by the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) for its state highways during the period when this route was active.

Historical Context

The design, by featuring the highway shield, evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of Iowa's transportation infrastructure. It signifies the road's previous status as a state-maintained route. The inclusion of the shield allows the glass to serve as a collectible item, harking back to a time when signs of this type were common across Iowa’s roadways.

Symbolism

The overall design symbolizes the passage of time and the evolution of Iowa's road network. The presence of the retired route number implies a sense of history. It subtly hints at the transformation of roads, from their original purposes, and into a memory, now able to be appreciated from the comfort of your own home.

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.

  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 — 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.
